Winner Takes All

     In an article from the Texas Tribute, it talks about four "Bundlers" for President Obama's camping for next election. This group of people are donating hundreds and thousands of dollars for President Obama to run in the next election and I feel that this large amounts of money is used and managed terribly. First off the white house has made so many Organizations that were made on the spot so I feel that they could make another one for the management of Presidential funding. I believe that if so many people are willing to donate so much money for a presidential election that it should all be put into an account and each candidate should be given a exhibition test on how they would spend the donated money and who would they give it do. We have a popular vote that is not important to the election but just a neat statistic so i feel that with every bodies concern with the economy i believe that a text with the donated money should be put to use on helping the economy or whatever the candidates choose. they could be scored based off of how much money and how much improvement they were able to accomplish with in a short period of time. this would not only prove they could be an asset but the people would be benefited by the contest as well. Many people are lost in knowing who to vote for, I say give them a chance to prove themselves that they are right for the job as the leader of the greatest nation in the world.

Meet me at the Basketball Court at 4:00

        Tod Robberson of the Dallas News made a blog about protesters on a Dallas street corner. He is talking too primarily to the residents of Dallas, but it pertains to everybody that is American. Robberson is pointing out to us that these people claim many demands but do not stand up for what they want, thus no real results happen and change. This blog interest me because you cannot go anywhere today without someone having an opinion on how the government should be ran and how they do not look over us but the thing is how can them if they do not see any smoke signals? I feel that a common misconception in a lot of us is that we assume that Washington knows exactly what we all want and they are just holding back with their help. The truth is Washington has many, many bills and laws they are focused on and they work on them one at a time. We all should remember that if we want something to change than we need to do something about it. Robberson's logic in this blog is pointing out the irony of how the protester who was interviewed expected many people to back him up and a valid good reason that they should. The point of this blog is to show that it is the people who are the real reason that nothing changes. the politicians only root for what they feel that America wants, and if they hear huge crowds of gays and abortion activists than they will react to them. I strongly agree with the point that Robberson is making here. I am a strong believer that you can not fix something if you do not give attention to the issue. We all just accept that fact that it is a problem and it will never be fixed. A favorite book of mine," Rich Dad Poor Dad" has one of my favorite quotes stating," poor people say I can not afford that, and rich people say how can I afford that" that is a perspective that can be used in this situation as well. It is a mentality and knowledge of how we are able to change the laws if we are willing to fight together to change what we want changed.
