oil prices

i want to be  president because i understand the relationship of our huge national debt, our increasingly weak dollar and the oil prices. this article touches on what is going on. i think as president there is an obligation to keep our country out of this kind of debt unless absolutely necessary. we are completely vulnerable now and as we can all feel, that is doing no one any good but the people we owe huge amounts of money to, and the companies who are coming in from overseas and gobbling up our companies. by accruing this debt we have given up so much power and now by having weak currency we are further jeopardizing our economy. we need a solution to the debt, and we need a solution to the oil dependency and we need them now, not in 2020! 

by the way, an aside, how can a person honestly run for president and talk about budgeting and about paying off the debt etc. when they can't even manage the money for their own campaign and knowingly get themselves into debt and then demand to be bailed out. that is not setting a very presidential example is it? that is doing exactly what people have done with credit card debt and with some of the mortgages that are now in crisis. 

here are the news clips i was referring to yesterday so you can check the information out yourselves. let me know what your thoughts are.

 

this is the story on the plumpy nut

i want to be president because even i know that spending 100 million dollars on an arab news station and then screwing it up is an idiotic idea! after watching 60 minutes last night i was furious! logically doesnt it make sense to most people that if we want to make a better impression on the rest of the world we should be helping people not killing them? what if we instead of blowing the money on alhurra news took the 100 million or more and bought the plumpy nut food from doctors without borders and fed malnourished children around the world. that would be 100 million children for one day or 25 million children for four days. think of the great publicity for that! plus, it fights terrorism. i am a very firm believer that any of us who has to feed our family will in the end, do almost anything in order to do that. so, if america is helping your family survive instead of the taliban guess who you are going to support. so, the taliban loses favor and power because they are no longer necessary. is it just me or doesnt this make much more sense? think of all of the other things we could spend our money on the help people instead of wasting it as we do.
i am going to write my congressman and senator today. i am extremely angry about this! of course if i were president i could do something to fix it immediately...

i want to be president because i am tired of voting for the best of the worst. (although i have to admit i want to be president after Barack Obama has finished his terms because I think he has great potential. so consider this my career building for the 2016 election ,or 2012 if pigs fly and mccain gets elected).
i want the united states to have the dignity back that we worked so hard for, instead of riding on the back of our past.
i want to be a president who inspires people to greatness and who earns the respect people around the world so desperately want to give us.
i want to be president so that we may once again leave our own borders, hold our heads up high, our dollar out proudly and tell people, "Yes, I am an American", with a beaver cleaver grin.
isn't that in fact what we deserve?!
