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.
