Now you can say you have done all those things, but what kind of knowledge do you have of what happens in the political world? I am not trying to be personal, but i am just curious. The only real experience i have is living in Austin Texas (very liberal city) and taking liberal classes for the sole purpose of proving liberals wrong and expressing my opinion. I took Asian Studies, in which class we "learned" why we should not have nuked Japan, and why we should follow Ghandi's tactics for todays conflicts. I had fun in that class since he had a class debate of some form after each lesson. I basically could invalidate whatever he said, and i was glad, because the teacher was so liberal and anti-american. He also showed the Al Gore movie, and i argued most of Al Gore's statements with the teacher. I have had lots of debate experience, and that is good for me.

Obama2008, i do not have any problem whatsoever with your age, because i am only 14, but i think obama is only as far as he is because of the fact that he is a talented speaker, and he can convince you through it. Other than that, all he says is hope, hope, hope and change, change, change. He is way too idealist. He doesn't really know anything about why we need change, or how we would change, and I think this Universal healthcare thing is not good. It would require higher taxes because how else are you supposed to pay for something like that. Also, it is very socialist for the government to run everything. In my mind, Obama closely resembles Jimmy Carter, who started everything that is wrong with the world today.

ok, well Jimmy Carter ruined the U.S. But then there was Ronald Reagan, who solved most of the problems. So Jimmy Carter didn't ruin today's world, but Obama resembles him.

Every president causes more problems for the next 10 president's in line. Sometimes president's fix problems, too, but there are no heroes in reality (Except for maybe Richard Nixon. He was the man! He did everything right!)

It's okay to have a fantasized version of Ronald Reagan, or Jimmy Carter, or John F. Kennedy, or Woodrow Wilson, or Abraham Lincoln, and so it goes, but only use those fantasies to define who you are ideologically and spiritually. Recognize when your fantasy and reality don't match up. It's okay to create a hero named Bill Clinton, but it is not okay to make Bill Clinton into a hero.
