War on Drugs

Bob Schieffer asked Romney and Obama what was the longest war and they both responded it was the war in Afghanistan, but it is actually the war on the drugs the longest. It just turned 40 years old and we have spend more than one trillion dollars on it. Rocky Anderson said that we don't need to put up more regulations . We need to end the drug prohibition and treat it like a health and education issue.

Economy

Barack Obama has been steadily growing the number of jobs that are available. He is steadily trying to bring back our economy. It is not going to be fast but in the long run well get there. We have seen 31 months of straight job growths. He has added 500,000 manufacturing jobs and that’s the most growth since 1997. He rescued the auto industry from collapsing and it has been paying off by adding more jobs. He has done a lot to the economy.

Obama Visits Chicago

I am surprised that Obama had the time to visit his hometown and voted early. This is the first time anyone has ever voted while in office 12 days before election. He voted at the Martin Luther King community center close to his home from Kenwood. He also gave a speech about how everybody should vote now so you don’t get stuck in bad weather trying to vote. I think it’s great that he took the time of out his busy schedule to come to Chicago not only to vote but to speak with his supporters.
