I really hope that if the war in Iraq is still going on, that we elect a president that is all for trying to find a way out or a way to end the war that has been going on for way to long.  Hilary Clinton said “Well, the right strategy before the surge and post-escalation is the same: start bringing home America’s troops now.”  It seems as though she is all for addressing this issue of mine.  Barack Obama also has called for a phase of withdrawl for our troops and is in favor to end the war.  “I thought our priority had to be finishing the fight in Afghanistan. I spoke out against what I called ‘a rash war’ in Iraq”.  John McCain in the other hand, wants to strengthen our force in Iraq and not bring them home.  I also feel that poverty should be a big concern for our nest president and that it should definetaly be addressed.  Obama and Hilary clinton are both all for creating jobs for the American people which in a way can helps poverty.  All of the canidates want to help lower taxes which in turn provides Americans with more money in their pockets.  I also hope that our next president will look at and evaluate the laws that govern our country today and make adjustments to them and make them a little more fair to the people.  I couldn’t find much info on what these canidates want to do about this particular issue.  I know that john McCain wants to “end pork barrell spending” which would cut out government spending that was not needed.
