&amp;nbsp;Colleges and medical industry. &amp;nbsp;After the steel industy collapse, those jobs have never returned. &amp;nbsp;All of the high school students at the time realized they had to make good choices to help Pittsburgh recover. &amp;nbsp;Remember that anyone?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, we have had one GREAT president who stuck to his guns, and was not re-elected for his own decision to pardon Nixon. &amp;nbsp;After the spending debacle about a possible impeachment later, Presdient Ford was proven correct. &amp;nbsp;We heard that from him in 1974, when I was ten years old.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All the students in the press afterward liked his speech. &amp;nbsp;Year after year we have watched our friends and neighbors worry as job after job has been lost.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We always seem to pick the president we want to have a beer with ( remember that poll from Bush/Gore?)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yet, the current preident has his lowest approval rating. &amp;nbsp;Al Gore, whom I voted for, has gone on to win an Academy Award and a Nobel Prize. &amp;nbsp;Why are we afraid of smart people who can speak their minds?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When I was twelve, my grandma worked on Ford's re-election campaign. &amp;nbsp;When he called her. it was always Jerry when I answered the phone. &amp;nbsp;I've been hooked on politics ever since.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Big thanks to Mr. Romney for taking the time out to give the chance to students to meet a presidential candidate. &amp;nbsp;Did you naysayers ever have the opportunity?</description></item><item><title>Romney speaks to high schoolers</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/14/576478.aspx#579044</link><pubDate>Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:58:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:579044</guid><dc:creator>Robert, Huntsville, AL</dc:creator><description>I am so sick of the Clintons. They are corrupt, power-hungry, and have only ever been the 51% candidates. Bill Clinton was a 51% consensus President. What that means is he feels comfortable leaving every instution of exploitation in place in our country, everything from trade to subsidies, waging war, you name it. But then he throws a bone to his liberal base that helped him get elected and spends 51% of his time helping them. He forfeits 49% of his presidency to the highest bidder and then gives 51% to his base. I guess some could call that change, and hey the Presidency is intended by law to be a slow moving ship that can only steer a few degrees in one direction or another, that's what staves off disaster if we have a horrible president. So Clinton will balance the budget, throw a few bones, he'll put a band-aid on the problems we have and make us feel good with his Camelot speeches, but in the end the status quo will stay the same. Our country has reached a point where we need more than a 51% leader, our ship has hit a bog and it will require more force than that mundane 2% margin to get out of it. I apologize for the barrage of metaphors but I'm trying to save time and most of you who are informed about the Clintons know what I mean. The best candidates in my view are Mike Huckabee, John Edwards, Barack Obama, period. I usually write with more tact but as the election grows nearer, and with this latest Clinton scumbag maneuver in Nevada I am just so frustrated and I'm starting to lose heart. Even McCain is starting to take over in the Republican side. I just feel like the parties dangle change in our faces and we get excited about a new and genuine candidate and then whoosh, the establishment comes in and steals it from us. Maybe Adam Smith was right, the people, the &amp;quot;Bewildered herd&amp;quot;, are meant to be just spectators. At this point, I would bet my bottom dollar on either Clinton, Romney or McCain being president, all establishment douchebags. This sucks.</description></item></channel></rss>
