@jazzyleia 😃 thanks! That helped!
@meixiaotian ok. 😸
@himaja I need to state some stuff from obamas point of view.

himaja • 26 October 2012 at 4:01 PM

@ice2505 8th graders are doing that at our school too. OMG Did you know I went to the campaign yesterday, got on TV and shook Mitt Romney's hand!!!!!

Ok back to the question....
You know what Obama wants to do,, right? I you don't know here is a list...
-DREAM Act- This act enables students that have illegally immigrated when they were kids but have finished college in America to get the citizenship
-Cut taxes on Middle-Class, higher taxing for wealthier
-Does not support the "show me your paprers act" which says that the state can stop anyone on the road and ask for an ID to stop illegal immigration(Mitt Romney wants too), he wants the immagration thing to be handled at Fed. level not state level


Ummm...thats all I know.Sorry I'm not much of a help.

meixiaotian • 26 October 2012 at 4:38 PM

@himaja I don't think you should be talking about that.

himaja • 26 October 2012 at 5:16 PM

@meixiaotian Sorry, I edited it.

meixiaotian • 26 October 2012 at 5:17 PM

@himaja It's fine, just a sensitive topic.

himaja • 26 October 2012 at 5:20 PM

@mexiaotian It's okay I was just doing that as a possible debate for her, I'm not really supporting him either but yeah..sorry if I offended you in any way, I didn't mean it to be hurtful. Thanks for telling me though!
