Who should be the next President?

I think Obama. Not that it effects me but whatever. I don’t think people are going to vote based on ‘first female president’ or ‘first black president’. People vote based on; their plan, their promise, their speeches, their proposals, etc.

yeah I just wanted to know who people think should be president.

How about the guy that the media ignores & yet he’s BY FAR THE BEST CANDIDATE OF THEM ALL…RON PAUL!

yeah I really think there all pretty similar

I think we need more options lol

John McCain.

I’m sure all the candidates worked hard to get where they are at - A nomination for presidency doesn’t just fall in one’s lap after all.

If you have a roof over your head, can read a book, (hell and you have a computer with internet access let’s not forget!) and food in your mouth I highly doubt you are “struggling to get by”. Maybe not living with the all the sweet comforts you’d like, but you’re definitely getting by.

As far as who should be the next president, I don’t find any of the candidates too promising. Huckabee and Obama seem to be the only ones at least a slight bit promising.

Does it really matter? Does any politician follow through on their promises when running? A person who has to actually work for a living needs to run this country. We are the ones who have to take all our hard earned money to pay for outrageous gas prices, health care, and personal care items(food,etc). If it were ran by a common man then the country would be a better place for us all! Nearly all of Washington is ran by old fkers who need to be kicked out and average joes(with education) put in who knows what true issues in this country that needs tackling other than aholes who are only interested in lining their own d**n pockets!

I totally agree with you, crzygr. The rich are getting richer and the rest of us are struggling to get by. Even here in Canada – our banks make a yearly profit of over 12 billion dollars and in the mean time, we pay them huge services charges and a box of checks cost almost $50. This is all so their shareholders can keep getting richer and richer. Its a complete monopoly - the average guy on the street has no choice. .

And our leaders are people who used to be lawyers, who have charisma and who can look good in TV debates.

But to answer the original question, I think Obama is the best candidate so far.

Ron WHO??? Just kidding…You are right, the media play a huge role in deciding WHO has a chance. Choosing whether to cover a candidate, and how small clips and sound bites can give mis-leading impression, and facts that responsible journalists must always be on guard against committing. The goal of a journalist (and we too are only human) is to ALWAYS distance one’s own opinions and prejudices, and tell the story as unslanted as possible. And, always strive to be FAIR! Unfortunately in a land where the Captive News Network (CNN) is the fodder for the masses…we fall short of unbiased and impartial journalistic ideals all too often.
