Barack Obama is the perfect candidate for the 2008 Presidential Election. The only thing that stands in his way are the heinous misconceptions of the media and the general public.

Why is it that we feel our government is the one government to judge all others by? What makes our government so great? It's corrupt, it's currently dysfunctional when it comes to this who... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Comparing the democratic and republican plans for the war in Iraq: 1 of 1
How many times is President Bush going to repackage the same ideas and strategies about the War in Iraq and try to sell it to the American people?

It's not the rich millionaires that make this country go. It's not the super-powerful investors that make this country go. It's not even the rich poli... More..
