another cain accusation

Through an interesting journey through the first stages of the 2012 election, Cain has come a long way. With popularity and the spotlight hitting him suddenly he is unable to keep up. Cain has contradicted himself and came up with the 9-9-9 tax plan, which isn’t a very logical and fair tax plan, but the public has their opinion on that.
Now there are rumors that Cain may drop the race but Cain stepped out to reassure the public that this isn’t true. He will not withdraw no matter how they try to bring him down. He will hold on and he will rise, he says. But how can this be so easy for him to say after all of these sexual harassment rumors and now a rumor that he was having a 13-year affair while he was married.
Ginger White, the fifth woman who came forward about indecent behavior with Cain in an interview with fox 5 news in Atlanta. She claims that she was aware that he was married but she was okay with it. This woman even had phone records that dated as early as September at all times of the day and night to Cain’s private phone.
Cain claims that yes this lady has been calling him but it was nothing more then he innocently helping her with financial issues. He considers Mrs. White an acquaintance and nothing more.
Ms. White says otherwise, she says that he would buy her a lot of gifts and fly her around the country to wherever he was so that they can see each other. She even went as far into detail to say that it all started one night when they were having drinks and he invited her up to his hotel. Ever since then they have been doing this for years.
For eight months not there relationship has been over. Cain became very serious with his presidential campaign that he no longer felt safe enough to keep his relationship with Ms. White. She only decided to come forward with this information after the accusations that were beginning to go public. She didn’t like what she heard and how he mistreated them so she decided that she would also tell the public what had been going on between them before someone else did and made it seem as if it was something filthy.
In Cain’s defense, Ms. White has been reported for stalking and someone who had filed for a protective order against her.
As of recently Cain hasn’t been looking to good in the eyes of the public. Not only because of his sexual harassment accusations, but also because of ideas about certain issues such as how Obama is dealing with conflict in Libya.
As for Cain he is not worried about any of these accusations and feel as if it wont hurt him or his family. His wife has heard about these stories and he has told her his side. As of now her only response to Ms. White story is “here we go again”.

Rick Perry lazy ad

Rick Perry tries to compete with Obama by pulling out a sentence he had in an appearance and analyzing it to portray him as thinking of America in a bad way. He then uses this to say that Obama is a socialist and Perry explains his own plans for America. For someone who doesn't know much about the election and hasn't seen or researched that appearance that Obama was on when he said that line, would think differently about Obama. This Ad could change a lot of peoples minds about Obama.

Obamas bad reviews

As you can see how these individuals point out a lot of the current problems in America on Obama. If people watch this they will start to think about that instead of the good that he has done. It is also noted that the republican Candidate will be better then Obama, and how he will not be reelected and more of the country is leaning against Obama.

keep track

Its important to keep track on all of these candidates. Nothing is for certain thins are always changing and not what we may have expected. You cant always trust the information you hear and it may not be all that helpful.

Romney and the media

Mitt Romney is a determined man, Romney is determined to become president one day and it seems as if he will not stop trying. He has ran a couple of times and each time he come in second place. Romney isn’t such a bad candidate, the major problem with Romney is that he is a flip flopper. But who can trust a candidate who doesn’t stand up and believe in something. It only gives us the impression that he doesn’t have any real beliefs, and that he’s easy to persuade. How can we trust someone like that to run our country.
It is no secret that no one wants Romney as the next president as we can hear the following message exerting from the crowd “Anybody but Mitt”. With Perry, Cain, Bachmann and Gingrich as the candidates with the most attention lately, Romney seems to one of the least favorites among the public. Rising in popularity is Newt Gingrich, this was sudden and rapid since he is not raising a lot of money and on his way to be considered the front runner of the election.
To help Romney win the election, its obvious that the media has to be on Romney’s side, because the media is how most of America gets their information. Whether the media can make a difference on how the public already feels about Romney isn’t certain but its worth a try. Romney has been up for appearances with individuals such as Sean Hannity, which he has been interviewed by 11 times this year. Romney relies on the Fox channel to support him and show him in a good light. Romney has also been featured on conservative radio stations, television channels and newspapers with people like Laura Ingraham, Bill Bennet, GretaVan Susteran, and Mr. O’Reilly. The wall street journal agreed to publish an op-ed about him and the Nuclear dangers in Iran.
Although Romney has some of the most poplar conservative sources on his side he also has some popular conservatives against him such as Mr. Savage, who just outright considers Romney worthless, Mr. Savage has put a lot of fear into his listeners because he portrays Romney for what he really is. Someone who wont be good for our country and someone who should never be considered for president no matter what others try to make him seem as.
This only makes me think about how I view the media and what I should believe or not. Knowing that Romney almost has to relay on the media to portray him as a good candidate only makes me think of everything that there not showing. And the media who portrays Romney as a bad candidate makes me think about what may be good about him. So it really forces those who follow up on this to look at all the sources and not relay on one trusty news source. You never know what is true or what is exaggerated by the media and therefore you have to make and trust your own inferences

obama and the 2012 election

Obama claims that he will be canceling the 2012 midterm elections. Obama's reasoning behind pulling a move like this is to conserve money. As well as his effort in conserving money, since he knows the economy is desperately needing it, he is also going to be exploring a way to increase jobs. The economy has seen one of its worse economic depressions since the great depression and the number of unemployment has not made a drastic change in decreasing. Obama will use the money that we will save by not doing the 2012 midterm election and using it for transportation and infrastructure projects which calls for workers all at the same time. Is the sudden economic savings and new jobs a tactic of Obama to earn votes in the upcoming election? Personally we all do not know but maybe it will work. Since Americans have been in desperate need for jobs ever since the economic recession, the new bringing of jobs is something Americans will be happy for and even praise Obama for. Maybe Obama does have a greater chance in winning the 2012 election by promising good for the economy; however, we can also see similar promises that Obama made for the 2008 elections and there has not been a reasonable or noticeable change. Maybe Americans will believe in Obama’s attempt in helping the unemployed people that strive to find a job to support and take care of the families. But at the same time, there might be people who realize the things that Obama promised in his last election that he never got around to changing; therefore, Obama’s votes might decrease. In the article, it does seem as though Obama is making an active effort in passing the Effective Order in order to cancel the midterm elections and help the economy. The canceling of the elections means as much as millions of dollars going in to the economy and hopefully he will use the money in ways to help the people in the economy and not abuse it. Republicans are quick to go against this and bad mouth Obama for canceling the elections; therefore, showing that they are not supporters in helping the economy and helping the unemployment rate go down. The people of America now have to choose if they support the democratic side of Obama trying to put money back into the economy or if they agree with republicans and do not want to better the economy. An idea as big as this Effective Order can really affect the populations decisions in the election. If the republicans show their negative energy in Obama canceling the elections for a good reason, to put those million of dollars back in to the economy, then this can encourage a more democratic vote. Personally, I believe that it is a good idea not to spend millions dollars on a midterm election campaign and instead help those whom are struggling. The unemployed and people that are struggling usually go unnoticed, so it is eye-opening to see Obama actually reaching out to help these people find employment.

lobal warming

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYOQDz9Gt0Q

Perry is seriously in denial about global warming. He states that global warming isn't 100% proven but its 97% proven. how could he still deny it and how could the public go along and believe in what hes saying.

Debate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O5UJoe9_aY


This debate definitely gives you a feel of what America is interested in and prides on. You can get a sense of whose popular and which issues are important to them.

Perry slip up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUMGGY2ZzWg

Perry forgot what he was saying during presidential debates. This video talks about how Perry messed up and messed up more than once. He even made it into a joke and related it to everyone by saying there is a organization we would all like to forget.

Newt Gingrich

Newt Gingrich is suddenly climbing in the polls. Up until now he has either been in the dark during the election or having negative things said about him. He has been criticized and doubted because of his past impressions and the 2 divorces he had. Another thing that makes him unpopular is his past with Bill Clinton. More recently he is being criticized for spending money on his wife. They say that he has spent thousands of dollars on her in Tiffany’s. Gingrich lost about 15 supporters who claim that he would rather spend time with his wife then campaign and put his all into his career.
As of recently Gingrich is starting to rise in popularity. He is getting closer and closer to being the front runner, as he is now standing next to Herman Cain and Mitt Romney. He is now raisin money and is overall doing a good job in getting more supporters and money donated to his campaign. It is a strong possibility that he could take the lead in this campaign, he is drastically changing his impressions on the public.
Although he was in a really bad position in June and July, he never gave up or dropped out. He stuck it out and now it is paying off for him. Some don’t buy it and think that his tone of voice is mean and intimidating. But close friends of his such as Rick Taylor, who says that he has an Authoritative assertiveness that could give off the wrong impression. He isn’t mean but some people could take his attitude and comments as being mean. He is very talented at making others feel small and foolish, by saying the right words in a certain tone but he doesn’t mean to be mean.
I’m not sure what he has done to make this sudden change in the public and their hearts but he definitely changed the election as of now. Or maybe the public is just starting to listen to him. His views and tactics are now being recognized and he is coming to the eye of the election. I feel like Gingrich is the last hope for the public. None of these candidates would make for a good president. At least for the front runners because they all have qualities that are undesirable. For example Mr. Cain is nuts, his views and political knowledge are very ignorant and Mitt Romney is a flip flopper. Romney doesn’t know what he believes in, doesn’t know which party he stands for and for someone like that to be president will be bad because he will flip flop on the important issues and actions that the government will lead our country to.
Overall Gingrich is standing out, he came up tied with Mitt Romney for second place with Herman Cain in first place in the CBS news poll for republican primary votes. I feel that he should all listen up and figure out who will be the better president in the long run.

Perry's brain freeze

On Wednesday Perry had an epic brain freeze during a debate. He embarrassingly stood there dumbfounded as he searched his brain from name of the department of energy which he has been talking about that should be eliminated. His expression told it all as he stood there with a look of pain as he stumbled and started over and attempted to change the subject. He just couldn’t find the words that he was looking for.
Nobody knows how this will effect his campaign but luckily he is not the only one to have this happen to him. More embarrassing then that Christina Aguilera forgot the words to the national anthem as she sang in front of thousands and thousands for the super bowl. And what about chief justice John G. Roberts junior who misplaced a word during his oath at the swearing-in ceremony for President Barack Obama. This embarrassing mistake forced to redo the oath the next day.
It is only to remind us that this is natural for everyone and that these things happen to all of us everyday. It doesn’t have to be forgetting a word or a idea in front of an audience but the simplest task of forgetting what you walked into a room for. It is more likely to happen when we obtain new information or never really used, and we are forced to depend on our brain to try and remember what it is were searching for. But when there is something significantly important to us such as a childbirth or a birthday we have no problem remembering every single detail.
A good comparison to our memory and what it remembers is that of a library card in a library. When we remember things well its as if our medial temporal acts like a library card catalog system, which will point him to the right locations in the brain where the memory is stored. But when there is a brain freeze or unable to remember something its as if the card looked in the wrong place or as if we have the wrong card.
Perry could have been interrupted after he glanced at Ron Paul and got distracted which probably set his mind on a different track. This also may have set him off into his next point to quickly without yet finishing the question on hand. More simply he could have just had a lot of stress placed on him and his mind is to jumbled up with worries and expectations. Our memory is filled with way to many things and it is easy to forget some of the information that we try to pack into it. Its almost as if it’s a parking lot with hundreds of cars and forgetting where it was you parked.
According to Tom Eichele, a neurophysiologist and adjunct professor of biological and medical psychology, points out that are brain gets lazy sometimes because it thinks it knows what’s going to happen next. There should really be no reason why Perry should have any negative feedback due to this unfortunate experience. It just reminds us that they are not robots, they are human as well and they can have slip ups every now and then just as I’m sure each and every one of us have experienced ourselves.

social media part 2

In this clip you can see the footage that was secretly taped as he speaks about it. He talks about how the organization Acorn has been shut down and displaying them as a bad organization. The strategy to play the footage as he talks about the organization is a good touch because the footage displays what he is saying and how the media today normally appeals to the public with their views.

media today

Here is a man who works with a company who has main goals to expose fraud, dishonesty, and wrong doing in private and public organizations and companies. They do this by placing secret cameras, and going undercover to find these things. This is a good tactic because the social media has become so important so he is able to expose them with the hope and expectations that many people will find out about it.

new social media

This an example of how the media used fun music and fast paced video that demonstrates what what there narrating to us. As well as you can see how they present Tim Phillips to everyone as he makes his way to the stage.

Romney fund raisers

Although Mitt Romney has mixed feelings with the public and what he stands for there s no denying that Romney in devoted to helping and donating to fundraisers. Romney has participated to numerous people are an organization, he has also showed up and even spoke in Lake County Federation dinner in Illinois. He has attended events such as the New Hampshire Seacoast Republican Woman’s annual Chili Fest and the grand opening of a suburban Las Vegas Campaign office. He has donated thousands of dollars in the past coupe of weeks to the republicans who ran for office of legislature.
Romney appears at every main fund raising event that he has says he will. Romney will show p early and leave later then he was supposed, this shows his devotion to these causes. He is pleasant company to have around and truly involves himself and interacts with the people around him. And to his benefit many of these people who he has worked with and helped out have returned him the favor by donating money in return. Although Romney had helped many people and organizations, there are many who still doubt his views and wont support him in his this race.
Romney is still appreciated by all of them and it is recognized that he has spent more money on fundraisers and helping lawmakers campaign then he did in 2008. On the bright side Romney has big organizations donating money to him such as Commonwealth PAC and free and strong standing America PAC have donated about $400,000 to about 300 local elected officials and organizations. Romney has donated a lot of money to states and such the biggest being New Hampshire but he is being accused of using this money inappropriately because he is sing it on things outside of the restrictions for his campaign.
Romney had donated around $1,000 to each republican candidate for senate and to the state organizations. In total he has spent around $100,000 in New Hampshire alone. When Mr. Romney believes in someone he puts his all into it. Mr. Romney has donated a lot of money into Nikki R Haley from South Carolina. Even when Haley repaired the Republican nomination, Romney put together a meet and greet with some donors for Haley. While Haley was being overwhelmed with money that Romney’s campaign was sending her.
Although it may not make a difference to some individuals who cold potentially donate to his election campaign it definitely affects most of the people who he has funded in the past. Romney has been donating for years and it only makes him seem like a better person who supports and is involved with the issues of this country, Small or big.
Some people will like Romney and favor him over the other republican candidates because he is involved and this is a quality that is very important especially in the election. I personally feel a different way towards him now that I know this about him because it makes me feel like he actually cares and might try to make a difference in the things that matter, unlike the other candidates who haven’t really done anything to help these states.

Herman Cain sexual harassment

So again Herman Cain is on the spotlight of politics and the election and again for something bad. But this is by far the worst public media and news yet for any candidate. Mr. Cain seems to have nothing but negative surrounding his campaign; I wonder will we ever see something good about him. This time Mr. Cain is being accused of sexual harassment, not only against one women bur several women. Mr. Cain denies any such thing as being true but witnesses of the account and those who know about the incidents make it hard for him to convince others that this is just a scam. Mr. Cain plays his only defense stating that he is a victim in these situations and that the media and the players of politics are positioning him as a victim of “gunner politics”.
The first women who accused him of sexual harassment were a woman who worked with him at the National Restaurant Association in the late 1990’s. The incident happened on a night were Mr. Cain and some of his coworkers were enjoying their night and drinking well into the evening where he started to make flirty comments. He didn’t stop and continued to make numerous advances at the woman. He was very inappropriate and persistent with his actions towards her.
After the incident the woman complained to higher authority’s at her job but no one seemed to do anything about it. In fact they all started to look at her differently and she became so uncomfortable that she decided to just leave. After she left the job it was offered and agreed upon between her lawyer and the association general council that they would settle the situation by offering her $35,000 which was about a year’s salary. The woman didn’t bring the story out to the media, in fact she wanted to forget about it and just live her life as a normal woman.
Another woman was offered $45,000 for the same situation between the times that Mr. Cain was working as chief executive of the association. Of course Mr. Cain is highly upset about these stories because they really threaten his chances at becoming president. These allegations could ruin any chance that he had. He constantly denies that any of this took place but he did say that his actions could have been misread by these women. He claims that he would extensively compliment a woman about how good she may look that day but he would never cross the line and that he would never even attempt to compliment her in that manner id he didn’t feel completely comfortable with them and think that they would take it the wrong way.
There are people who know Mr. Cain and who state that he likes to joke and such but he never means to come off the wrong way, he is a playful individual and he is friendly. They could never see him doing such a thing and they can’t figure out these stories.
