Divided Democrats?

As we draw closer to finding our democratic nominee, we Americans have to think about the fight going on between the Democratic Party, Obama and Clinton. Have we been divided against each other as democrats? Do you have Clinton’s back or on Obama’s team for change? But aren’t we all democrats and fight for the same changes? So why can’t we just decide to either fight together or just let one of them win. Both Clinton and Obama want to make good changes in the U.S. that will benefit the people. I mean in their speeches they both say they are fighting for change. So if they are fighting for some of the same things then why is it taking so long for us to decide on a candidate? Yes, they may have some differences in areas, but I think either one of them would be a better candidate then having the Republican Party rule again. Tearing each other apart, like in their commercials and speeches, is just making the Republican Party look more calm and reserved. That just makes the democrats look like the opposite, and who would want to vote for that?

Everyone want's more money!

In an article posted by Bethany A. Thibodeau, http://bethanythibodeau.blogspot.com/2008/03/we-need-more-money.html, I read about her suggestion to raise the Minimum wage to $7.00. Well im not sure if it will solve all the problems we have with gas prices, but why not. The gas prices are really high and I know all the other broke college students can agree. We all could use a few extra dollars in our pay. If people got paid more money then yeah, we might be able to afford more in the society we live in. I doubt that we will ever be the poorest country but I do agree that the minimum wag should be raised!
