 | Well Bill Clinton's speech the other night made a great case for his re-election I think! in fact it was the best argument I've heard for his next term yet. I consider myself very independant-minded so I'm definitely open to hear the two sides argue it out. I love politics and follow it very closely! again that's not just US politics but world politics. |

| yes her speech was good too! this will be a very interesting political season- especially with all the troubles (economic and otherwise) around the world. The next president will have to deal with a lot of difficult issues, I question both men to be honest but I still hope that whoever wins does the right things on a global scale. We're living in a "world community" as I like to call it so we should all strive for goals together. |

| Mark, actually I am an outsider (I am not an American). I just know Obama from the news reports. And I know almost nothing about his competitor. But you are right. We are living in a world community. No matter who will be next president of the USA, his policies and decisions will have an impact on our "global village". |

| Their speeches are no more than good examples for presentation text. It's understandable that Americans are pround of themselves as Americans, but who else are not prond of their own nationality. It doesn't factor as much that their speeches affects gloable affairs coz the powers else where are rising. The election is a game of clown circuit and a game among big kids. They talk before you this way and then turn back do things the other way . They do play very well as what they call sophistication and strategy, which we can see from how they deal with global affairs (alway acting as global police and sly mediator) seeking to dig out the maximum benefits in their favor. It's called patriotism, but who else don't have in other countries. I am not blaming but trying to say we don't care! |

| Well like I said I'm very questioning of all leaders and definitely think the US has made many many mistakes when it comes to world politics. The Bush era especially was a disaster but in all reality it hasn't gotten much better! We should have all expected that because whoever wins the president position at the end of the day he/she is still just a politician. |

| GUEST17115 | The closer we get to election day, Romney's chances increase. Obama's failure to deliver on so many election promises is coming to haunt him. |

| Obama will win. Ryan , the vice-presidential candidate has been always slapping his own face no matter how eloquent he sounds when debating. he sounds a clown or an unmatured kid. His boss Romny is no more than a business man. Except complaining, he has no plan at all. If he did have plan, that would lead US to fall into the ditch like war after 911 and global crisis back in 2008. It is unimmaginable that what the America would be if powers falled into his hands! ---------------- Ryan asked for federal funds as he pushed for smaller government By Jack Gillum, The Associated Press October 12, 2012 WASHINGTON - Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan, a fiscal conservative and critic of federal handouts, has sought for his constituents in Wisconsin an expansion of food stamps, stimulus money, federally guaranteed business loans, grants to invest in green technology and money under President Barack Obama's health care reform law. Such requests are at odds with Ryan's public persona as a small-government advocate and tea party favourite who has pledged to tighten Washington's belt. The Associated Press reviewed 8,900 pages of correspondence between Ryan's congressional office and more than 70 executive branch agencies that it obtained under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. They showed that for 12 years as a member of Congress, Ryan has sought from the federal government money and benefits that in some cases represent the kinds of largesse and specific programs he is now campaigning against. As Mitt Romney's running mate, Ryan calls those kinds of handouts big-government overreaching. He tells crowds he supports smaller government and rails against what he calls Obama's wasteful spending, including the president's $800 billion stimulus program. |

| "The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare and cronyism at their worst," Ryan said during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. "You, the working men and women of this country, were cut out of the deal." And during Thursday's vice-presidential debate, Ryan said the stimulus amounted to "$90 billion in green pork to campaign contributors and special-interest groups." But Ryan's constituents benefited from stimulus spending and other government-assistance programs, according to AP's review. Ryan once told federal regulators that cutting a stimulus grant for a town in his district at the 11th hour would be "economically devastating." Much of Ryan's correspondence is similar to other lawmakers performing constituent duties, describing problems that residents have reported. They include requests such as assisting a family missing airline baggage and helping a man who didn't receive a pancake maker he had ordered. But in other correspondence, Ryan explicitly supports programs and encourages federal agencies to take actions. He supported in his congressional letters some Wisconsin farms' share of an $11.8 million loan guarantee, but later criticized other loan guarantees, such as the $535 million loan that went to now-defunct solar panel maker Solyndra. He asked transportation officials for a grant for green technology and alternative fuels, although his proposed budget as House budget chairman called loans for electric car development "corporate welfare." |
