As we all should know by now the US Embassy in Libya was attacked by extremists. Both Republicans and Democrats would take a traditional appeal. Republicans traditionally favor striving for power and acting as a "role model". So based off these attacks if Bush were president we would be heading off to war. Romney even went as far as to accuse Obama for sympathizing with the attackers. Democrats though do traditionally take a more conservative outlook to war. They believe in isolation and internationalism which "confuses our allies and encourages our potential enemies". An example, could be Hilary Clinton who thanked the Egyptians for their actions afterwords with out really taking a stance on the tragedy itself. But any reaction the Americans will have is in Obama's hands for now. Let's see how he's going to play the deck of cards in his hands...

Why Talk Politics? Well for me...
I was never really the one interested in politics. Heck! I didn't even know the difference between a Democrat and Republican other than they were rival parties. The reason I chose politics as a topic was probably because of my sparks of interest last year. Last year their was two main reforms that seemed to make or break everyday teenage life. One of them was a censorship of the internet. I remember emailing my senator saying things such as it takes away "freedom of speech" and "freedom of person" all together. My senator emailed me back and we began to chat on different bills that were going to be passed. And when our generation seemed to win the battle of the internet, another one rose. College loans. I don't know many high school who are not going to be plagued by college loans. Unfortunately, our country wanted to raise the price which I was outraged by! I think the thing about politics is we all push it away figuring it really does not cross our lives that often, but the truth is politics is an important and present part of each and everyone of our lives.

Welcome all; Democrats, Republicans, and all Third Party members' alike! It's time to talk some politics! No better reason to talk politics than the November elections that have already begun to rear it's eager head and cause a lot of mischief and uncertainty. No matter what your view is you must admit it "takes two to tango". And these candidates both Obama and Romney alike are tangoing around each other. Who will the next president of the United States be?
