Here’s your chance to tell the world how you feel about candidates and their views on the economy. As I said in my last blog, it looks like Michigan will highlight views on the economy as the state faces a 7.6% unemployment rate that voters blame upon the U.S. free trade agreements.
The one to watch here is Huckabee and Romney as they position themselves to bolster free trade, but protect American jobs. McCain has a Senate voting history on free trade that will most likely be spotlighted in this state, whereas Huckabee and Romney neither have a congressional voting record on this issue.

Tell Oprah, I’m not voting for Hilary because she is white or because she is a woman. I’m voting for her because she is the most qualified. She and Bill were able to balance a budget.

Jack,
Am I the only one who thinks that Michelle Obama is more proud of America today because for the first time in our history we are considering a woman and an african american for president!

I am voting for Hiliary. Yes, I think the media (Fox News, CNN and MSMN) really mistreat her. The first debate NO ONE commented how
upset Obama looked – just how mean Hiliary looks at debates. Anyway, I could go on and on but I want to know why pledge of alligance isn’t
said before debates? I head Obama won’t put his hand on his heart when you pledge – does he say “under God” – I doubt it. Why don’t Hiliary attack him about this. I think it is awful – and he wants to be President. What flag would he use?

Also, there is a word “racist”. The way the media treats Hiliary is “womanist”.

Recently, I have stopped watching the news on CNN, MSNBC, and local stations because of the prejudicial treatment of Hiliary Clinton. Continuously, the media has focused on comments, body language, and positions of Hilary Clinton in such a biased way. Did you know that she got 20 million dollars for the health care of rescuers involved in 911? Did you know that she wrote to the FDA when they stalled on ruling about over-the-counter contraceptives? Our country has a teen pregnancy problem. Hiliary Clinton tried to do something about that. Why don’t you mention this in your news broadcasts? Why do you continuously malign her? The news should focus on the accomplishments of each candidate and make some comparisons. As news broadcasters, you have neglected your job and purpose. You have flagrantly elevated Obama. Any person who does not have a lot of knowledge about the race will be influenced by your news. So, when that person continuously hears that Hiliary is almost out of the race and Obama has won the last 1000 states, that uninformed person will think, “Well, she must be a loser.” “I will vote for that guy who promises to change the world.”
Why don’t you spend a little time discussing Mrs. Obama’s comment., “This is the first time that I have ever been proud of my country.”
The media has a tremendous impact on our country. Yes, you have First Amendment rights, but why are you abusing them? Be fair. You have done nothing but malign Hilary as a woman and a public official. Please rectify your terrible injustice. You have only a few days.
