Geography of United States Elections | Lecture 1

LIGHTENING STAR OF USA- BARRACK OBAMA

        Barrack Obama made a victory as the US nation’s first black president at November 4 Tuesday night in an Electoral College landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. He is a son of black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas,  Obama defeats Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Iowa.

          Obama sought election as one of the youngest presidents, and one of the least experienced in national political affairs. Obama has said his first order of presidential business will be to tackle the economy. He has also pledged to withdraw most U.S. combat troops from Iraq within 16 months

        The most popular news after his victory has caused several foreign stock markets to collapse. The steady gains of the last few weeks have already world markets are goes down due to the world economic trouble. Perhaps it’s Obama’s extreme socialist views that have even left wing Europeans frightened by the prospect of his presidency. Perhaps it’s his desire to withdraw from the Middle East unconditionally and immediately, a move that will destabilize the region and threaten the world oil supply.

      Few days before Asian stocks exchanges as gained Barrack Obama’s presidential victory sparked optimism his spending plans will help the economy recover from the credit crisis. The dollar rose and treasuries declined.

        Asian stocks gained, lifting the benchmark index to a three-week high, as Barrack Obama beat John McCain for the U.S. presidency.

      The U.S. presidential election can change investment sentiment,” said, Rogergrobeli Singapore-based head of financial market analysis at LGT Capital Management, which oversees about $20 billion. “The new president can’t work miracles, but maybe he’ll open the gateway to change.”

            Whatever the details, now the world nations are watching, a radical Muslim elected to the US Presidency, fear for America’s future and the impact it will have on the world economy.

    Because Jews own the banks banks control the money.

    Who's the moron who said there is a large Jewish population in the US, less than 5% of this nation identify themselves as Jewish. There are more Filipinos in this nation than Jews why don't we pander to the Filipino vote

    In politics, a chief of staff is the primary aide to a political leader or position.

    The White House Chief of Staff is the highest-ranking member of the Executive Office of the President of the United States and a senior aide to the President.

    The duties of the White House Chief of Staff vary greatly from one administration to another. However, he/she is responsible for overseeing the actions of the White House staff, managing the President's schedule, and deciding who is allowed to meet with the President. Because of these duties, the Chief of Staff has at various times been dubbed "The Gatekeeper" and "The co-President".

    Any country is passing from democracy to comunism. Socialist presidents are beeing elected but any of them is ending with democracy. Chávez was reelected president of Venezuela in a world-wide recognized election. Including the United States recognized the Venezuelan election as beeing democratic. And is too soon to say that Latin America is turning to socialism, those leaders were elected only a few years ago, many presidents in Latin America are still right-wing. 10 years ago almost all presidents of Latin America were from the right-wing. Things change, today is the socialist wave, tomorrow may be another wave. And the US don't has the moral right to care about Latin America, why do you care so much with us? Leave us alone. Anti-Americanism is the main fuel of leftism in Latin America.

    The Republicans are the conservatives. The Democrats are the liberals. Actually about 40% of the electorate here considers themselves Independent and these are the voters who will decide the election. Some states do not require you to declare a party affiliation. In those states all registered voters can vote for any candidate of either party. Some states have "closed primaries" which means you must be a registered Republican or Democrat and you can only vote for the slate of candidates in the party of your registry. The "closed primary" states have this rule supposedly because some voters of another party would deliberately try to get a weak candidate of another party to win the primary.

    Because the vast majority of Yahoo answers participants are American. When there aren't enough questions about foreign politics, more American politics questions appear.
