Mais the speaker for Jordan I thought did a very god job explaining the similarities and differences between Jordan and the other countries. From what she has told us in her little presentation I heave learned the Jordan is not like all other middle-eastern countries. Jordan is a very peaceful country. Also I learned that not all women have to wear the head thing, I forget what it’s called. From what she was told us I have learned much more then what I have even known about Jordan and also about some of the middle-east. She explained everything so we could understand what she was talking about. I didn’t see the Iraq speaker so I can’t compare the two. I liked how she just didn’t stand p there and show pictures and talk without giving us a chance to ask questions. I still have some questions that I would like to know, but I’m sure I can just go online and look them up. But there is still questions that I have and would like to ask her. The main point is that she made me think different about some middle-eastern countries. I hope the other speakers are just as good as she was. Also I couldn’t believe how well she spoke English and how well she was with the culture here.

Right now my vote would have to go towards Barack Obama. I think he makes the best out of what he says. The one big issue that I had and wanted the president to do something about is the war in Iraq. I think we have been there to long and it’s just costing us more and more money every day. Also we are losing more troops every day. Obama says he has a plan to get our troops out of Iraq by the end of 2009.I think that this is a very good plan, and will help us out in the long run. He doesn’t oppose war but dumb wars he does. The qualities that I would like to have in a president I think Obama has those. I believe that he will stand-up and do what he believes in. I think that his messages are very powerful and gets a lot of peoples attentions. Also I would like to see a very intelligent president. I believe that Obama has the intelligence that we need for a good president. Then one of the qualities that I think is very important would be that you have to be able to interact with the people. And from what I can see so far I think that he has done a good job of making sure to talk to the people about issues and such. But like what I said at the beginning about the war in Iraq I thnk that is the biggest issue in the U.S. right now, and what most people want to hear about. The other issue that I think is a big deal is gasoline prices I think this a issue that needs to be sloved quick. Obamas way of solution is to raise the CAFÉ(that’s the fuel-efficiency standards on cars). I think that is the best idea
