As you all have known,Barack Obama has been president of the United States of America since January 20th of 2008. With Barack Obama's politcal campaign slogans being ones of both "Hope" and "Change We Can Believe In", I as well as the rest of the United States electorate believe those phrases, those ideals should be carried out.  Read More »

As an eleven year old, I wasn't much into politics. I had a faint grasp that Clinton got into trouble over something with a lady (not his wife), that we had bombed someplace far away (which my family watched on the news... in night vision), and that Bush beat Gore after some confusion in Florida.

Last semester, John Ashcroft spoke at Denison U (my school)--he was the former Attourney General under President Junior, and a big supporter of the War on Terror, warrantless wiretapping, torture, etc. He spoke the typical rhetoric of spreading "freedom" and protecting Americans at whatever cost.  Read More »

Our fate as a country lies in the hands of a newcomer to Washington. Barack Obama. Who you voted for, or who you rooted for, does not matter now.  Read More »

Well as interesting as this race was it certainly wasn't a close call. This election led President Obama to a landslide victory. The people spoke and the government listened. I wish Mr. McCain the best of luck and Thank him for his truly honorable service to this country.  Read More »

Post-Election Bitterness

I can honestly say that, up until late Tuesday night, it had been some time since I was proud to be an American. Many foreign nations are rather angry with the USA over the wars in the Middle East and our bumbling President Dubya.
