Obama gave the State of the Union speech last night, and it was beyond promising. Obama has made many successes as President, even in a time of economic disasters and plummeting employment rates. The State of the Union notes just that, and what Obama is planning on doing next. Viewable here, the video states that Obama has helped create over 3.2 million jobs in private sectors.
He also speaks of moving the final troops out of Iraq, and necessary quality education for all students of America. I agree with both of these decisions. America has other priorities for the military than just Iraq, things with more importance such as genocide in Darfur or the Palestine-Israeli conflict, situations that definitely NEED military aid. And when it comes to education, everyone as a U.S. citizen deserves the right to one, as well as one of equal quality. I don't know how feasible this idea is for him, especially since he as president needs to focus on things on a much larger spectrum. He wouldn't truly be able to control what's being taught or by whom, but his stress on the subject as well as his willing to do anything to improve it should be respected and taken into account in this upcoming election
All of these accomplishments and interesting information that deems valid might be biased, however. This is pretty much another campaign speech for the President, to give him a second chance. The speech will obviously have a pro-Obama bias and persuasive rhetoric. Who knows what will happen?
Also note how serious John Bayner looks throughout the entire speech, maybe he fears another term with Obama as President? Only time will tell.

Mitt Romney: The Entitlement Theory
I recently came across an opinion news article (here) that stated that Romney feels entitled to the presidency (or should i say his throne?).
The article states it quite ridiculous that Romney said that he "supports an opportunity society, free people living under a limited government." Well, to me, that sounds like any other old Republican. The prevalent liberal bias of the article is annoying, but I can't help but notice some of the truth behind the raging opinion.
Romney IS a flip-flopper, he HAS made dishonest attacks on Obama, and he IS extremely wealthy and doesn't understand the feeling of being impoverished. I wouldn't be surprised if Romney pivoted t the center in the general election, if he makes it that far.
Romney's entitlement campaign is interesting, but may lose him popularity. Democrats are terrified of his pro-free-market fundamentalism, and tax cuts that are skewed towards the top. We all know Romney pays a significant amount of tax on all his millions, but he gets away with a large percentage due to investing and hiding.
It's a known fact. Romney is bleeding diamonds. He is rich beyond belief. How are we supposed to trust a man who doesn't know true challenges and solely knows about entitlements and his own "opportunity" in America.

Hello Florida, Hello Hardships
Florida: a state known for its diversity of people, palm trees, and the highest high school drop out rate in the country.
Based off of this knowledge, this will be one of the hardest states for the GOP candidates to win, and this is definitely NOT a winner take all situation. This will be tough.
I don't find it surprising that Ron Paul isn't even trying in this state. Yes, there will be other ones. And Florida is expensive for not a lot of profit, like the cheap tans the civilians get when they could just sit in the sun.
This article sates just what the candidates need.
Florida may have different regions (a conservative retired north, booming liberal cities, and several immigrants) but they all aren't truly focusing on social issues in this election. They are all focused on the issues of job creation and the housing market.
Santorum, to be honest, does not have a chance in my opinion in this election. Most of his policies and beliefs are based off of abortion and gay marriage. This will definitely be another fight-to-the-death Romney-Gingrich scenario, as it will play out.
I think Romney will win this battle, with his suave opinions that could cater to several demographics and his large campaign allowance. He will win the battle, but maybe not the war.

Gingrich Defeat Over Media
As Gingrich continues to get endorsed by big players in the POTUS campaign, the media that once trumpeted over him is slowly dissipating into the background.
Although this article describes Gingrich's attack plan, I don't find these tactics necessary. We all already know that Gingrich wasn't faithful to his wife. We all know that he sticks true to his beliefs, no matter how radical they are or the majority's beliefs. I respect this.
The media has no more dirt.
What we know as a good tactic, however, is Gingrich's proof that Romney is a flip-flopper, and flip-floppers can't be President. Studies are showing that Gingrich is gaining a loyal following, and momentum is on his side. He has a greater chance than ever before, and he's taking it. The article describes this, too. Bashing the news media and not directly attacking anyone like a child is "endearing him to voters." Gingrich is playing the game better than anyone else could dream.
The media shouldn't even be attacking Gingrich anymore. The battle is over and Gingrich has won.

POTUS Sings, FLOTUS Talks
Okay. I understand that you are campaigning and winning the PRESIDENCY is somewhat of a big deal.
But I am honestly disappointed in America.
Why do we choose Presidents based off of how cool they are? I honestly assume that Obama will win the title of POTUS again, but not because of hard work, not because of a stable economy, not because he's furthering the country.
He is going to be President based off of the fact that he can sing on American idol Michelle Obama is beautiful, sculpted woman who occasionally debuts on talk shows.
It is heinous, OUTRAGEOUS, that WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS make these types of points their top priorities? Shouldn't we be fixing the country? Shouldn't we be altering regulations on environmental issues? Shouldn't we be improving welfare?
The article gives no nod as to how ridiculous this is. This shouldn't even be considered politics.
Sorry, Michelle, but no one really cares about your White House kitchen garden, save for the author of this article.
When the POTUS stops appearing on Jay Leno, and starts getting bills passed, I will vote for him.
When did the presidential campaign become a popularity contest? Why?

GOP Congress vs. Gingrich
It's interesting that a surprisingly hefty percentage of Republicans is anti-Gingrich for the presidential candidacy. It's true that Gingrich helped lead the economy onto a new peak when he was Speaker of the House. It's true that he's starting to win caucuses and debates amongst his peers. So why all of the Republican hatred?
The answer lies in this video...link
The video states that the people who know him best, or those Republicans in Congress, are the ones who are not supporting him. One Congressman, when asked why he's endorsing Mitt Romney, stated that he simply KNOWS Mitt.
Where are the details? Why are all of these senators implying horrible deeds, and yet not really saying anything. This all seems a little fishy to me.
Supposedly, the house under Newt is scary to many. One even said: "You can feel the nervousness from Republicans around town that Gingrich could actually bring the craziness back of his speakership from the 1990s. It's everywhere."
I don't think members should be too worried however. Without their endorsements or their votes, Gingrich will not be likely to go anywhere. His damaged reputation and hypocritical beliefs against Clinton will definitely speak to the people. In my opinion, there is a slim chance of Gingrich in the White House.

S.E. Cupp's Santorum Craze
S.E. Cupp, author of "Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity" and political commentator for Glenn Beck's GBTV, is completely infatuated with Rick Santorum. She even goes on to talk about his sweater vests. She states that his morals directly relate tot he economy, and his strong American values should be respected. She also states that he focuses on moral consequences for the country, based on economic decisions, and that this is hard to do when most people are only focused on jobs.
Where is she even coming from? His moral issues and religious values should be seen as important once America is out of a recession. Honestly we as a country do not have time to think about same sex marriage and the private affairs of the candidates when a large percentage of our nation is striving to get out of unemployment and put food on the table.
She also states that this "is his moment," he should milk it for all it's worth. The Iowa caucus, however, is nothing like the debates and campaigning for the 49 other states. A large percentage of Iowa shares Santorum's religious backgrounds and family roots. If Santorum was going to win anywhere, it would be Iowa. I personally believe that that was Santorum's fifteen minutes of fame, and he won't last in the upcoming elections.
S.E. Cupp has an obvious republican bias, she even wrote a novel titled "Why You're Wrong About the Right." She's only supporting Santorum because she shares similar values as him, not for what he is planning on doing for our country. She only writes on his social views, not on how Santorum will get the country back on track.
The article is interesting, however, because CNN has a liberal bias typically. This article is one of the most socially conservative viewpoints I have read, so it's refreshing to see it on the cover of CNN's website.
