Joe Biden and Barack Obama want to secure America from harm and terror. They are attempting to do many things about it. If Obama gets into office, he will try to make the world a better place. On the other hand, McCain also has plenty of good ideas. Some people would disagree with Obama and some would disagree with McCain.Barack Obama and Joe Biden want to accomplish many things on the topic of foreign policy. Obama says that once he is in office, he will remove the troops from Iraq and attempt to end the war. On the otehr hand, McCain thinks it’s right to not withdraw the troops from Iraq. McCain thinks by leaving troops in Ira, it would make America a safer place.Another issue Biden and Obama discuss is the topic of nuclear weapons. Obama thinks that if there are nuclear weapons, there could be a terrorist attack invloving nuclear weapons. So what he want to do is make a ban on the production of nuclear weapons.Another big problem in the U. S. is the economy. Both McCain and Obama want to lower people’s taxes. They want to make taxes fair. If one family has less money than another family, they won’t tax the poorer family as much. This way, the poorer family can still live.Both Obama and McCain have great achievements. Many people think however, Obama has better achievements then McCain, and vice versa. They would both be good for office, but Obama might have a bigger edge then McCain.

The topic on China during the election is very important because China has a possibility of becoming the next world power. The political views of China presented by McCain are very interesting to me. This topic on China interest me the most. McCain has supported China until a recent incident in Tibet witch caused him to change sides. As told in a article on the web, i would wish to find more about McCain and his political views in China not only the incident in Tibet but China becoming the next global power. I expect for him to not like this fact, but I would like to learn more so this would be what I would write on. I think that McCain does not like the fact that China is slowly catching up to the United States technology and he will try to change that fact, but I do not think he can. Learning about McCain’s political view on China would interest me the most.

While in the senate, both candidates had to vote weather to vote for or against the Iraq war, starting in 2002. McCain, the republican senator, voted for the war in 2002, while Obama, the Democrat senator, voted against the war. Today, both senators want to withdraw the troop, but in different ways. Senator McCain, doesn’t think that removing the troops now would be the best thing to do because he doesn’t think that Iraq could function on its own at the state it presently is in. He said that he could see us in Iraq for 100 more years. Senator Obama, on the other hand, wants to redeploy about one to two brigades a month and thinks the whole process would be finished by 2010. Also senator McCain voted for the surge and claims it to be a success. Senator Obama, voted against the surge and says that he didn’t even support the war from the beginning, so why support the surge.
In my opinion, i support McCain on this issue because i really don’t think that Obama or any other person could redeploy all the troops in a few years. Also even if the troops were brought back home, i don’t think that Iraq is at the point were it could function alone without any chaos. I personally believe that Iraq is an unstable country that needs all the protection it can get and because of this I could see us in Iraq way longer than 2010.

Health is a big topic around the world. Whether it is being too over weight, or not getting health care such as seeing a dentist, doctor, and orthodontist. Obama says he will issue a health plan for all Americans. Also, he wants to create a national health insurance exchange, which will help Americans shop for health insurance and will set new rules on the industry. Health care for children is required, and Medicaid will be enlarged.
McCain on the other hand has something called GAP. A guaranteed access plan that will provide insurance for the uninsured. He wants the Federal Government to promote easier access to health care, how to stop smoking programs, the “rapid deployment of 21st century information systems and technology,” and “the establishment of national standards for measuring and recording treatment and outcomes.”

Both Obama and McCain make great points about health care for the U.S. I am for the health care policies because health care is a very serious concept, and people need it very much. Without health care people might not be getting the proper hygiene that they need. Even though both are giving different plans for issuing health care, it is very important that everyone gets the right health care, and can feel comfortable about their own health and well being.

There are a number of differences between McCain’s and Obama’s strategies toward dealing with energy.  This blog shows the differences between the candidates’ policies toward certain aspects of the energy  issue.

In the issue of offshore drilling for oil, Obama wishes to expand the approval of the drilling a little bit, though he was opposed to offshore drilling entierly at the begining of his campaign.  Senator McCain’s plan, he takes the very conservative accion and intends to raise all offshore drilling restrictions completely.

As for The oil companies themselves, Senator Obama Wants to implement a tax on the companies (though that means that gas prices will skyrocket!).  Senator McCain is opposed to an increase in taxes on oil companies, in contrast to Obama.

In the issue of fuel efficiency, Obama offers credits to car manufacturers who increase the amount of fuel-efficient cars they build and a $7000 tax credit to any consumer that buys a fuel efficient car.  McCain, on the other hand, is offering an award of millions to an inventor who can come up and make technology that is more efficient than current hybrid automobile technology.

The candidates’ policies toward renewable energy really state what party they belong to.  Obama, taking the “big government” approach, Intends to have at least ten percent of America’s power coming from renewable energy by the end of his first term.  McCain, taking the more conservative approach, will give tax credits for the development of sources of alternative energy, like wind and solar energy.

The climate change issue also reveals the candidates’ differences toward eachother.  McCain takes the aproach easiest on the American government and intends to make caps on carbon emissions and emissions on other greenhouse gasses.  Obama is making  a great aim to reduce carbon emissions by eighty percent by 2015.  (I don’t know if he means in America or the whole world.)

 Obama’s health-care plan includes of providing affordable health-care for all Americans. He also wants to make existing health-care plans stronger. Obama’s health-care plan will cost about $2500 for a typical family. Mccain’s view on health-care includes of “four pillars of reform”. The four pillars are affordability, access and choice, portability and security, and quality. Affordability means health-care will be not cost a lot for families. Access and choice means that every American can have access to quality insurance. Portability and security means when an American switches companies he will keep the same health-care plan. Quality means that he will strengthen the health-care by promoting research, and development.

There are two different tax plans in this year’s presidential race. They are raising taxes and lowering taxes. Obama wants to raise taxes and McCain wants to lower them. McCain thinks that if you make money, you should keep it as a reward for your hard work. Obama thinks that if you make money, he should take it from you and give it to less wealthy people to “Spread the wealth around”, as he told Joe the plumber. Also, Obama wants to take money from the people who pay taxes, and give it to the people who don’t pay taxes, and calls it a tax cut. He says that he is cutting social security tax, but it isn’t a tax. Social security is a payment to a retirement program.

I disagree with Obama’s tax plan. I do not believe that the upper class society should pay more taxes because they made 250,000 or more dollars per year. I understand that people who are making low wages need all of the money they can earn, but it does not mean fully cutting in half a person’s salary. Barack Obama is making a poor decision on this tax issue, because this will put the United States into an even worse recession. If he becomes president he will take away the hard earned money for which the upper class worked. Instead he is going to give money to people who have not gone to college and who work in a McDonald’s, making the minimum wage. The upper class should not be penalized for making more money; it should be a fair percentage of income across the board.
