I read today that during an interview with a media representative President Bush was asked about the price of gas going over $4.00 per gallon. He wondered why the news people were reporting such a high number. When told that the government (his administration) were the ones predicting the high figure he seemed genuinely surprised. How could a president who has prided himself on being “one of the people” be so far off base? Does he really have no idea how the rest of us live? What would he do if he had to live from pay check to pay check like so many Americans do?

Here at home the presidential race is taking up most of the news. John McCain has sewn up the republican nomination. That doesn’t really matter becuase surely the American people won’t choose another republican president this soon.

What is important to me is the democrates choice. I have been a supporter of Hilary Clinton from the beginning. It seems to be very close as to who will have enough delegates to carry them through. I think Ms. Clinton is best suited to run the country at this time. And I must admit the idea of a female president is pretty exciting.I believe Barack Obama could do the country some good too but I also think maybe he needs a little bit more experience first. However I also think a president just a little short in experience is better than a president who will just keep the whole country on the same path as it has been for the last two election cycles.
