After Osama was killed, the approval rating reached up back to 60% and some of them said US is going to the right direction.
Do you agree with all that?
Personally for me is no, Osama killed is a great news, but this news is not a very big issue like we used to face. But now our economy is the primary one to be concerned with, the deficits is still growing and the other problems like OPEC & China are still looming. The Obama administration say they're not interested in containing China when they were ripping us off with their currency manipulation and job theft. Don't forget that we even honor him with a state dinner!
As a Tea Party supporter, I won't vote for him and the US is still in so much problems and in the wrong direction. It's got to be Donald Trump! To all the folks who don't like him, I want you to listen to his many interviews and you know what he's talking about, the more you listen, you probably know that he's absolutely right, he loves the US but he hates to see what's happening to the country itself.

Yes, unless another party gives us a formidable candidate. And I'm not holding my breath.

There are much better candidates, some people say Donald Trump, Ron Paul (Yes, he's running) and Mitt Romney.
Personally, as a Tea Party supporter, it's got to be Trump. In case if ask why, I'll explain on the next post.

to be honest, Ron Paul's my bet for running against Obama however i believe Obama will get voted back in... (reasons that are the same as of to how he got in in the first place)
(always liked Paul's political view, god am i an odd person in my field...)
to be frank, Donald Trump's got no chance as hes seen as a bit of a laughing stock not to mention the financial problems he caused himself... also if he dose run with one of the 3rd party's hes sealing his ability to get support pretty quick as its a vary large percentage of Americans that vote based on party and nothing else. (don't quote me but i think it was some 60%)

I think I could potentially vote for Ron Paul; I did in the Republican primary in '08. I could see it being a tough decision on my part if he was involved.

Obama's promise on the economy is not working, he didn't even mention about China ripping us off or even OPEC. And also did Ron Paul actually notice the issue which the Donald said, commonly China & OPEC? If he doesn't, you'll have to worry a lot when it comes to jobs & gasoline prices.
Tea Party supporters are the real people with real common senses. And if you say Trump has no chance, I think you better listen to his interviews again and again, when was the last time when we used to have new airports or new bridges, if you look in China, they have new big bridges, where do get all that money to build that? From the profits they made.
As for the financial problems and the bankruptcies he have in the past, these are all the past, look to the future, he learned his lessons before and all he wants is America to be rich again. If you vote for the wrong person, sure, Trump can survive the country's big problems, but the citizens themselves who are not millionaires will suffer.
Lastly, I cannot be sure if he's going to run as Republican or Independent, he will make his decision sometime prior to June. All of these attentions he have been made not to promote The Apprentice or himself, he got the fame through his business successes and people would love to interview him on businesses, but then for some reason the whole thing expanded and he's thinking about it.
So in a nutshell, I'll vote for Trump because of OPEC & China. The country's economy cannot recover when the vehicles we drive are mostly gas-powered, not electrical! & China continues to bring in "Made in China" products into the country, with that, jobs are stolen. As for us in the military, we don't do protection for free anymore, we maybe the powerhouse and with the goodwill we give, but that doesn't mean you can take full advantage of us, we had enough and it's time! Anyway, think about it, even still, will Ron Paul notice these issues? We need a leader who can lead us well to become rich again, and we need to recover with the money & jobs we need to bring back!

well trumps gone, not like he had a chance if he ran as an independent though. (seriously, 97% of all votes go to either dems or reps, running independent or as a 3rd part is suicide for getting in, a truly sad number, would love for a 3rd party to finally get some sway in the government)
just a side note, my family is vary rooted in the american car company's. one of the biggest problems with moving the country off of gas is the cost of battery's (to place in the cars, however thats dropign quickly with the opening of several factory's) and the fact that in America its perfectly acceptable to still be driving a 20 year old car. (side effect of the size of this place too is that a 50mile radius before recharge is too short for a lot of people not to mention the lack of public transportation in most parts)
now i have done the math and form how much my family drives, replacing a single car with a Volt would cause a savings of around 2k a year in gas (and thats at 3$ a gallon where right now its 4$ and rising) however one thing also to keep in mind is the problem of the aged electrical system of America. were all ready having enough problems in the summer with out cars plunged in to every house... America's aging and so far not coping with it well. to move to an electric-gas system would require an overhaul of the electrical grid, but we don't have the money nor the will to do it. (because no ones willing to spend money and when they are its for stupid things, like cigarettes and alcohol rather than fixing or replacing that shouldn't-be-on-the-road-pile-of-rust)
wow, forgive me for that little rant-ish thing... (you guys are all logical so thankfully this need not apply to you) it just bugs me when people don't understand money around here and how the governments not mad of it and that your job requires people to buy your product. seriously disgusting when rolling up to a Chrysler or GM facility and you see rows of Handa and Toyota sitting there owned by the employes...

Hmm, very recent I see. OUCH! Even still, no matter how the Donald speaks out, will the other politicians take his advice, last time after Obama was elected, Trump did put his hopes and wish he will tackle China & OPEC or even the way how the other countries are ripping us off, but sadly, they don't care and continue to offer our goodwill & powerhouse military protection FOR FREE! Normally Tea Party supporters will be booing at him for such an announcement, but if other potential candidates like Ron Paul or Mitt Romney will go against Obama, will they remember and take what the Donald has to say? The country needs to be rich again! If you remember one other thing, last week when I was at my local bank, the USD exchange rate is so weak that even Australia's dollar is much higher than that. Normally out of all western countries that uses the dollar, the US should be the highest of them all, today the title belongs to Australia. But there's still a few bright sides, USD is still higher than New Zealand's and Singapore's. EDIT 1 : Oh well, but that's ok, no need to cry or shout over spilled milk. I hope Trump can do whatever he can to push the politicians to rethink, since he successfully did pushed Obama to release his birth cert, I'm sure he can do other things to make the others rethink. Here's his full message to those who didn't hear, I'll be looking forward for a video to hear him speak instead. politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/05/16/breaking-trump-not-running-for-president/?hpt=T2EDIT 2 : Here is another thing which I wonder if that works, Sarah Palin. I'm not sure if she has the fighting chance to go through with this, because I fear the same example like Hillary Clinton too. A theory I came out is women are not treated quite well despite they give their good points and in the end they get knocked out. Since Hillary doesn't want to re-run, which I'm not sure since I'm not from the US, with Sarah Palin gained some attention since 2008, will she run I'm not sure either. But what is important is not the gender, what is important is someone who is very close to the Tea Party supporters must run the presidency just for one term to get America back in shape. Hence Trump did said on one thing, he'll support the candidate who he find deem suitable, like a very top university who favors on the highest grade high school student to join in while rejecting average and poor grade students.

continue to offer our goodwill & powerhouse military protection FOR FREE! you have made a statement that is more truthful than most politicians... if the local elections around America are a sign of changing times, republicans have been getting elected left and right around the country so it should be a good show down for this years election. all ways love a good match up between party's. (pleas no Palin, i don't like her and a lot of republicans don't either)

This statement ain't the only one I said, Donald Trump did said so, our soldiers in the Middle East are not really soldiers, they're nothing but policemen. And again, during South Korea's attack, we help them out for free, it's obvious that we know much does it cost to move those destroyers and the aircraft carrier. The Washington people think that this is an RTS game.
And I understand, I'm not sure of Palin either as all I heard from Trump is that she is close to the Tea Party supporters. Trump is even closer, so who should we vote now if he's out of the game. Some people told me about Ron, but what about Mitt Romney, can he be trusted?

FIRST YEAR VOTING FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (slash at all)
I haven't been following anything yet (and probably won't until the presidency craze), but yeah so far I'd probably vote for Obama. Since it'd be his second term, he won't be holding back as much on certain things, since he doesn't have to worry about reelection. Presidents are like... all the same anyway except for a few small things.
I'd definitely not vote for Sarah Palin or Hilary Clinton. The only female politician I would think of voting for, atm, would be Condoleezza Rice. Just cause she's better than those two, though. Haha.
WHOO INDEPENDENT PARTY. *still need to register*
