Pennsylvania holds the next Primary on April 22nd with 158 delegates at stake. Currently, Obama is leading in the "Delegate Won" category by 166 delegates.

Should Clinton step aside and endorse Obama or continue the battle?

USA Economics

As I watch the news - listening to the economic problems facing our nation, I have to ask myself what caused this downturn.

1. Wealth Disparity
2. Iraq war
3. Trade relations
4. Loose Credit
5. All the above???

I may not have a degree in economics but I understand the "Middle Class Squeeze" principle, spending more than you make and the concept of trade. Then we account for the falling dollar and other nations buying more of our goods and services on the cheep -- meaning we pay more for their goods.

Please help me understand this logic -- Are we actually paying people to help make these choices?

King Diagnosis Fatal: Incurable Ignorance

Many Iowans are once again embarrassed by Congressman Steve King’s (R-IA) flagrant racist remarks regarding Barack Obama and the joy "terrorists" would feel worldwide if he were elected as the next President of the United States. The truth is, there would be worldwide dancing in the streets by countries looking to Obama as the answer to hope and change, but King chose instead to focus on and identify with extremist groups. (Imagine that.)

Is this another case of “lights out, doors locked” in King’s perception of current events or is he just campaigning for Hillary Clinton? Let’s remember, King gave "credit" to Hillary for the S-CHIP bill when it rightfully belonged to Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

If the people have not yet figured it out, we are given a choice on Election Day. We have a two party system that allows voters to make decisions based not just on party preference, but the candidate they feel best for any given office.

Let’s wake up, turn on the lights, and unlock those doors.

King seeks re-election

May God Help Us! Steve King (R-IA) announced he will seek re-election to Congress. Enough is enough already. King has had three terms as Western Iowa's Congressman and I doubt another term will improve his public service record.

3/7/08 Steve King (R-IA)| "Throughout my time in Washington, I have delivered the truth from Washington," King said at the news conference. "Standing up on principle often means taking some arrows, but we have pulled together to make a difference."

Does King fail to address the real truth by making flagrant misleading comments about Iraq, Immigration, and Health Care? He also claimed history showed McCarthy to be "a hero for America". Is this really the "truth" King claims to have delivered and who is the "we" in pulled together?
