Democrats and Republicans Environmentally Challenged

Obama and Clinton are very good candidates. Both of them have very strong opinions. They are politically experienced and have a great plan environmentally for our future. Obama plans to invest in a clean energy future. He is going to support the next generation’s Biofuels as well as progressing in energy efficiency. As similar to Obama, Clinton has an ample plan to tackle America's energy and environmental problems. She will create a new and efficient economy that will provide millions of new jobs. She plans to increase both fuel efficiency and green research funds. The republican McCain plans to ensure us in making our environmental lifestyle healthy living. He offers to exploit market forces that will bring advanced technologies, such as nuclear energy. Another part of his plan is to reduce our dependence on foreign supplies of energy. McCain wants America to develop in a way that will ensure all nations to do their rightful share. Huckabee is very economy wise. He plans to achieve energy independence. Huckabee’s aspirations for us are to conserve all alternative energy that will later economically reward us preferentially. I’m kind of over politics. I was really interested when I was young. Now all I can say is that all these candidates are very intelligent and proactive. I have reached the voting age but I am unsure about who am I going to vote for. I just wish the best for all of them and hope for our future to excel successfully.

Obama and McCain

John Mc Cain

I don’t really see anything on the issues column that really interests me about trying to help out our country, it looks like all the issues he talks about runs around on only the surface of what our country is really going through. Issues that other candidates also talks about.
Although I do like what he’s saying about cutting the corporate tax rate. I find it to be good that it will open more job opportunities, because there is a lot of people out there that need that.
Another issue that I liked was the Human Dignity and Sanctity of life. Where he speaks about promoting adoption, technology in creating stem cells to help people with diseases, and protecting kids from the internet. All of these helping to give others better life, and keeping kids from being corrupt at a young age.


Barack Obama

Looking at the issues he talks about, there is more variety to look at. I really like the issue about disability. He talks about helping them, encouraging them through education and increasing the job employment for them. This will help people with disabilities be more independent, and I think that would also give the people a lot more pride in themselves. In being able to be provided with the opportunity with more jobs to chose from, and not be shut down just because they have some sort of disability.

I also like the issue on economy. Where he talks about strengthening it, and also where he talks about the problems. For example college tuition and health care and many more. It really makes me happy that he’s doing his best to change this country, and making it stronger. By making things equal for people, looking for things that will benefit all of us in the end.

All in all I think I like what Barack Obama has to say and what he wants to do to change and make our country better.

Issues.

McCain plans to lower taxes, and states that tax cuts work best when accompanied by lower spending. He states different ways to help others to better their life, as he encourages adoption and protecting young children from the dark side of the internet.

Due to the lost of $500 billion in 2006 on foreign oil and the obvious climate change, Obama’s plan for a clean energy future focuses on the development of domestic incentives. According to the candidate’s site, this plan will reward forest owners, farmers, and ranchers when they plant trees, restore grasslands, or undertake farming practices that capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Obama plans on investing over one hundred billion dollars over ten years to advance the next generation of bio fuels. He will also invest in job training to help workers and industries adapt to clean production and development. Obama will double energy research to better understand the usage of wind, solar, and other resources.

Obama or McCain?

Barack Obama's issues are mostly based on areas of common ground. His goal is to point out education, poverty, economy and what not, which we as a nation really need focused on. I truly agree on his plans for our education. He will ensure that all students have a quality education regardless of race, class, or background. Finally our teachers will be recognized and hopefully our education would be more functioned. Also, he will implement a 21st century economic agenda to help ensure that America can compete in a global economy, and ensure the middle class is thriving and growing. However, his vision on poverty, I believe would make our nation a better place. I believe is goals for our country will really make a change. However on the other side of the candidate, john McCain has also strong points. His visions are based on our strategy in Iraq, lower tax rates, and stewards of our nations rich natural heritage. He also has good points in his issues. He believes that we must not fail in Iraq. Succeeding in the cause of helping the Iraqi people build a stable, secure, representative state is essential to achieving an enduring peace, which is one smart move to stop war. Also, with his commitment to clean air and water, and to conserving open space, he has been a leader on the issue of global warming with the courage to call the nation to action on an issue we can no ignore. Lastly, with the high tax rate that we have here in Hawaii is tough but with his goal in lowering our tax rate it would help us a lot to live here.
Both Obama's and McCain views in changing our country points out great values, but only one can sit on the Presidents chair! Who will it be?????

Obama! Mccain?

As of today, it appears that the 2008 Presidential Election will be between Republican John Mccain, and Democrat Borak Obama. In reviewing their websites, I found that both men share many ideas about how to fix our struggling nation. Obama's main concern appears to be centered around the people which in turn would make a better country. He believes that improving the infrastructure is the best way to improve the problems. Spending more money on education, civil rights, and struggling Americans is his best approach. As a citizen of this country, I must say that I respect his plan, and hope that he can full fill it if he is elected. On bigger issues such as the war in Iraq, he appears to have the basic common sense that our current leaders seem to be lacking. He wants to remove all troops from Iraq within 16 months after his election, and that provides me with some hope of a better America. As a typical Republican, John Mccain appears to believe that investing in corporate America will better our country as a whole. He believes that strengthening border security, free trade, and government spending are bigger than issues that effect Americans on an every day level. He doesn't want to remove us from Iraq as much as he wants to invest in it. He believes we should strengthen their government, troops, and security rather then totally removing ourselves from the problem. For this reason, I am pushing against him. In a negative way, he reminds me allot of George W. Bush by the way he tries to protect social issues such as marriage, abortion, and adoption when I firmly believe that isn't any of his concern. If we have learned anything in the past 8 years, I think we as a people should vote for the person with the most character, best intentions, and strongest resolve even though that individual may not be what we have distorted to socially acceptable.

Obama vs. McCain

This upcoming presidential race is going to be very interesting. There is no real dominant representative for the democratic party & for the first time, the candidates are not old white men. It is time for a change and i hope it's for the better. After reading the issues between John McCain & Barack Obama, I believe that Obama will be a better president in leading our country in the right direction. let's begin with their issues on Iraq. Obama wants the troops to get out of Iraq while McCain supports the war. I think that the war with Iraq wasn't necessary. It was a waste of money and we so lost many troops over it. McCain doesn't want to end the war until America has control over Iraq. "Peace cannot be created by force. It can only be achieved by understanding." Albert Einstien. This is very true. On the other hand, Obama will have all troops out of Iraq in 16 months. This will be a relief to the families of the soldiers. If McCain wins, i think people will hate him like how they hate Geroge W. Bush and we don't need a 2nd one.

Obama vs. McCain

I am responding to the candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. Every candidates have their policies or position in order to pursuit people. Obama is the leading candidate on Democratic Party while McCain is the leading candidate on Republican Party. Obama is first time Senator and local politician before going to Senate while McCain is a long time Senator which means he has more experience on politics. If Obama win as a President, he will pull out the troops from Iraq while McCain wants to keep the troops in Iraq. McCain is a retired Navy and I'm sure there is a lot of wars coming if he will be the President of our country. Who would run our country better? A lawyer or a retired Navy? I would choose Barack Obama because he is younger, has an open-minded and he is willing to work hard and serve for the people of the United States of America. His platform is to offer an affordable health care which is good because it is expensive most especially for family plan. A better education for our kids and those people who want to go school because education is the key to success. The higher education we have, the more money we get. He would make sure that our senior citizens getting their pension and benefits regularly because they worked hard to get this. He would offer jobs for the people of our country so that we can avoid crisis and don't just depend on our government. If Barack Obama win this election, he would change America for a better country.And yes he can because he is a down to earth person.And I would support him because he is from Hawaii.

Obama VS Huckabee

I’m responding to the candidates Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama. I am already familiar with both presidential candidates. They have very different beliefs and ideas about the United States and citizens of the United States. First off I’m a democrat not a republican, so already I am more bias to Barack Obama. After reviewing Mike Huckabee’s website and what he stands for, I can easily say I wish him not to be president. I don’t agree with his opinions on same-sex marriage or immigration issues. I strongly oppose Mike Huckabee and pray he does not win the 2008 election. On the other hand Barack Obama seems like he could point our country in right direction. First, let's start with education - particularly higher education. In this realm, Obama plans to create a new American Opportunity Tax Credit for incoming college freshmen. The plan calls for the first $4,000 of a student's college education to be completely free and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university as well as make community college tuition completely free for most students. In addition, Obama seeks to eliminate the fuss that is the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA), allowing families and students to apply for aid simply by checking a box on their tax form. Since announcing his presidential campaign run, Obama has emphasized ending the Iraq War, increasing energy independence and providing universal health care as major priorities. But after glancing at his campaign Web site, it seems he has a plan for almost every issue under the sun.
