Bailout Vote, VP Debate Hangs Over Campaigns

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/29/bailout-vote-vp-debate-hangs-campaigns/

On monday Obama was in a campaign on and Biden was getting ready for the vice president debate on thursday, McCain and Palin were attending a rally in Ohio.Voters are consumed with the flailing U.S economy and McCain and Obama are pounding that issue. McCain says he can restore financial oversight while slashing wasteful spending and cutting taxes on individuals and businesses. McCain represents a continuation of the unpopular Bush's economic policies and argues McCain backs corporate tax breaks and lax regulation that have contributed to the financial crisis. Polls says that the race titles on Obamas side while McCain is losing his political strenght. By Sunday, both campaigns were taking partial credit for the shape of the financial bailout. McCain said in a tv show early in the morning that the latest version of the bailout plan meets his insistence of an oversight body to monitor the treasury secretary and limits the compensation of executives of financial institutions applying for loans.Vice presidential candidates seldom decide elections. But in a contest as close as this one between McCain and Obama, a misstep could set back either campaign in the final weeks before the elections.

Think about the person you were five years ago. How have you changed? What have you grown out of? What remains the same? What have you learned? Think about where you would like to be five years from today. What changes will you have to make in yourself? What kind of transition do you think you will have to make? Do you have an actual plan set out, or are you just assuming that its all going to fall into place for you. How are you working towards this plan if you actually have one?

The person that i was five years ago has changed alot. I have changed mentaly alot, before i was so imature and now days i see how stupid it was to be acting that way and how dumb i would be looking. I think i have grown out of always going cry to my mom whenever things didnt go well or i wanted something and i didnt get it. What remains the same is the am still the same caring and loving person. I have learned so many things over the period of 5 years. I finally learned that life is the most important thing in this world and to be able to get everything i want in life i have to work hard in school. Five years from today i want to be someone that has a great life, the perfect car, perfect job, house, etc. Be able to say that i did everything right when i was younger and that i dont regreat any desicions. Right now there arent any changes i would make to myself, because i think so far am good with by the way i am. I dont know any kind of transition i would have to go thru right now. I actually do have a plan set out. I want to be able to finish high school, go to college and from there live my life how i want to live it. Study really hard during high school, get good grades do as best as i can to be able to take one step closer to reach my plan.
