If you’re into politics and you did not hear last night’s speech, you should check out this article from Economist.com — I did it my way\ufffdand I\ufffdll do it again<\/a>. What did I think about the speech? I think it was not as strong as Kerry’s speech. I think Bush had some good ideas, such as Tax Simplification, some of his plans for education reforms, and couple other ideas. He also had some bad ideas: about Social Security, about outsourcing, and about couple others. I didn’t like his lack of details. Plus, as much as I like or don’t like the President (I think he’s doing a good job for now), he cannot sell his ideas. He’s just a bad speaker.<\/p>\n

Who am I going to vote for? I don’t have a final decision yet, but it’s Kerry for now, and it will probably be Kerry. I like Kerry’s ideas about Health Care, about outsourcing, about technology investments, and about couple other things. I just have a feeling that he needs to be given a chance. Plus, Kerry knows how to talk. To make up my mind for sure, I’m waiting to see a head-to-head debate, Bush vs Kerry, and I’ll make my decision then.<\/p>\n

That’s a dose of politics for this week. Watch out, though, for the next two months, for a very heated, negative battle. Just don’t listen to everybody and to everything because I think a lot of people are biased and don’t give you the objective information that matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
