Political blog #1

  In the political blog i am following for this semester, the main argument or stance that i am going to take is the fact that obama needs to have a new plan for the unemployment rate in our country.  Clarence Page says that, "unemployment has risen to its highest level in five years.  Uninsured Americans top 47 million.  Real wages have fallen in relation to inflation for every educational group in America expect for those with professional degrees since 2000."  I think that this is a serious problem in our country and we really need to have a canidate that can fix these and have a plan of action.  I also agree with the author Clarence Page that "Mccain attacked Obamas strengths and now Obama needs to figure out a new plan of action."  Obama needs to remind people of his strengths and why they should vote for him.  I think that presidential canidates always get wrapped up in bashing the other person rather than explain their own strengths and why THEY would change our country for the better.
