Keep in Line with Politics...

So, this is here just for current World, National, or State (if you live in the US) news.

Anyway, I'm going to say that Sarah Palin has recently used $100,000 of government money on a shopping spree. Idiotic in my opinion. Sorry if that was rash, but it's true. Does she have a death wish?

Where did you hear this from? I have heard no such news.

I think it was CNN, Time, or Fox. You have to go to their website. We were discussing this in class, and apparently even my teacher said that. Strange, isn't it?

Maybe strange, but what I learned about the tabloids is that you mustn't trust everything they say, they often exaggerate

What is more interesting is that USA has finally elected a new president. What do you expect of him?

I just had to

WOOT Obama
not that I like him much but he is better than Mcain!
Why I like him

1) most importantly he danced on Ellen!!

2) Enviromontal reform

3) By showing the world that America is not as red neck as everyone seems to think

I hope he does well.

Well, I'm not exactly sure if it's true, but it was from a big TV show and it was big news. Who won the election, anyway?

Obama did. Many are mad, many are happy. I have no care in the matter.

Well, I know that Lighty tends to stay away from politics. But personally, I think that none of the candidates were all that great.

Exactly, plus I'll be moving to Japan when I'm free from restrictions.

Will you still be able to go on? Also, I'd preferred if the nation spends a little less money on the campaigns and try to get the nation out of debt.

yes very true. And palin did spend almost 150,000 for her wardrobe *sighs* how vain and irrational!

Oh i love Japan though you know American politics influence the whole world so you won't be safe from them even there.

Yeah, it's so strange that Americans influence most of the world. Of course, Japan and China contribute as the top, but you know. Still.

I think McCain donated all those clothes, right?

I don't know she just took it out of their budget. It's really strange.

Oh yeah we were talking about it in World Cultures last week

Wow, if you're really planning on that, I can recommend these two pages:
Gaijin Smash
Outpost Nine

Japan is wonderful~! Even though America has influenced it, we still haven't managed to get all of the anime based games in English yet! Plus, I don't fit in anywhere. I don't listen to American music, watch sports, or American TV...The video games, the electroniccs, the cuture, the morals, the lack of cars. Paradise.

Okay, now that I've seen the news, I think Obama is excellent for the US.

I don't...He contradicts what he says...Though I don't think McCain could've done much better.

"America cannot afford reckless spending any longer." - Obama.

Yeps. No more reckless spendi-Oh wait, let's make the biggest spending bill in American history!

Don't mean to sound like rude, but Bil Gates doesn't even have that much money...

I usually stay out of politics... I think the whole government is contradicting.....

~though my older brother is planning on running for mayor of our town...~


Talk about Ironic... XD

Cool. I wish him luck!

Thank you. ^_^

I hope he gets it too. He has been preparing for awhile now.

Same for me.

When did Obama say that?

Anyway, at least he closed down Guatanamo Bay (spelling???). Major breakthrough. Let's see if he actually does more than not calling them "enemy combants"? (another spelling???)

I don't really see any point in closing it...But oh wells. Guantanamo Bay and combatants. I'm too much of a grammar nazi.

well, only 12 people max were real ones...

I agree with the closing down of Guantanamo Bay. Those people there haven't even been put before a trial. Which is wrong. And we were just putting people over there so that we don't have to bother with them.

I usually prefer to stay out of politics myself. I get so angry when talking about them. People kind of... avoid me when they talk politics.
