  • OMG celeb moments of the week
The folks at Scholastic have been asking kids to vote for president since 1940, and in all but two elections, they’ve picked the guy that’s ended up being sworn into office. We urged ya to vote last week, and now the polls have closed, the votes have been tallied and the results are in. Who won? Why, that’s be President Barack Obama.

 

Almost a quarter of a million students under the age of 18 weighed in on this year’s poll, but they didn’t overwhelming choose one candidate over the other. Though President Obama did pull out a win, the margin was by no means huge; he received 51 percent of the vote while Mitt Romney received 45 percent. Four percent of kids voted for another candidate.

 

Possibly more telling is the way kids in swing states like Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Michigan voted for President Obama rather than Mitt Romney. These states could mean the difference between winning or losing in the real election, so both candidates will definitely be paying tons of attention to how those voters mark their ballots.

 

What do you think of the results, babes?

You wonder why this country has so many problems, and then you find out that the average american person doesn't even know the first sentence to the first amendment of the Constitution. And no, it does not start with "We the people..."

Hey all of you Bush blamers: IT'S NOT BUSH'S FAULT! I GUESS YOU DIDN'T DO YOUR RESEARCH AND FIND OUT THAT BUSH AND OBAMA ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO DRAIN THIS COUNTRY DOWN THE TOILET! AND ROMNEY? HIM AND OMBAMA ARE SPONSORED BY THE SAME COMPANIES! THERE IS REALLY NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY OF OUR RECENT PRESIDENTS! (BESIDES JFK) THE GOVERNMENT'S GOAL IS TO DISTRACT YOU WILL UNIMPORTANT THINGS LIKE GAY MARRIAGE NOTHND ABORTION BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT IF YOU JUST READ THE CONSTITUTION, YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENTS JOB TO FEED YOU (FOOD STAMPS), AND GET YOUR LAZY BUTT OFF THE COUCH AND GET YOU A JOB, AND SEND OUR MEN OFF TO ANOTHER COUNTRY SO WE CAN BUILD THAT COUNTRY UP SO THEY CAN ATTACK US! THE ONLY THING THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IS DECIDING IF A LAW SHOULD BE A LAW OR VETOING IT! THAT'S IT! AND BY THE WAY, THE REASON THEY USE THAT EXCUSE "PROTECTING US FROM CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS" IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO PUT CAMERAS IN EVERY CORNER OF THIS COUNTRY.

If anyone does their research, they will end up voting for the Libertarian Party: Gary Johnson. He"s one of the only party that isn't sponsored by the same companies.

I think Romney should be in office. Honestly, neither choice is particularly amazing, but under Obama our national debt increased 50%, most of which is owned by China. I did some research on Mitt Romney's abortion views, and he actually is not against abortion in cases of rape. Unemployment is up .3% from 2009. Obama sent troops all over and spent a lot of money. We need to look at the bigger picture!

I am personally hoping that President Obama wins, and here is why:
Mitt Romney would like to do away with Student Loans. Now I realize that there are a number of rich folks who can afford to go to whatever college they want. I for one can not. I know I am not alone in that either. If we can't go to college, we we become a laughed at stupid country and things will never EVER get better in our country, it will only get worse in every way.
Mitt Romney would like to do away with abortion. I for one do not believe in abortion, but I feel as though women need to make that choice for themselves. If it is your own darn fault that you got pregnant, then you should have to deal with the consequences, but if you were raped, it is offensive that under Romney's rule, you wouldn't even have the choice to use protection.
All of Mitt Romney's plans are too vague to depend on. Enough said.
I respect Republican viewpoints, but for this election, voting in Mitt Romney would not be my choice.
