I think its wrong to raise money for something he doesn't need any money for, however, I understand he wants to raise awareness about the closeness of this race. It's a very tight win if he does. I'm rooting for Obama in this race and I hope he does well.

I think it's extremely important to keep security in the U.S. with I.D. cards, but I hope they don't expect us to pay for this update in their systems and other peoples ID cards. We need a safer more effective way to handle our ID cards and keep from false production of them. Everyone over 18 should have an ID card and be required to carry it.

I think the law they are trying to pass is ridiculous. People will make their own decisions and I think if a hotel wants to encourage players to spend more with "free" rooms and other incentives then it is their choice. The people have the choice to say no and it brings business and recreation into the city. If  a busload of old people want to spend their money gambling, so-be-it! Stop butting into everybody's business; America is so nosy.

He spoke about libya and a bunch of other issues in the country and said it was his job to fix it? I don't understand the point in this short video, but I wish I could've watched him the whole time.

We've learned several things about each candidate in the past few months. In each debate we caught both candidates contradicting themselves, mostly Romney. The debate the other day was extremely intense, but Obama came out on top. He conquered by telling america exactly what Romney's plans were for our country and caught Romney in a trap. They discussed energy very much and also spoke about other issues.

1. I think electoral college is an unfair way to judge the election, because that is like saying one state is more important than the other. We're supposed to be an equal and fair country, right? Romney and Obama will be a very close call, but honestly I think we should all vote Gary Johnson. :)

2. I don't believe it is that a blue-collar candidate is not realistic, but it's more so the fact that most (manual labor) working class are more focused on family rather than moving and spending months with others who pretend to care for them. America votes white-collar because we THINK they represent us well as a country, but in all honesty, we should really try to get a true blue-collar worker to represent the US and our American Dream.

I think "No Child Left Behind" was an ignorant and single-minded way to judge education in schools. Now, instead of focusing on education that I'll actually remember, it focuses on short-term knowledge that is only used to take the standardized test. Last year my lowest scores were in English and 21st Century and both of those classes I learned the most in.
