Mitt Romney’s Health Safety Net is Controversial

In 2006, Mitt Romney was the Governor of Massachusetts. He signed a law that was called the Health Safety Net. It allowed people who lacked health insurance to get the health care they need. It also allows undocumented immigrants to do the same. This is a controversial issue. Mitt Romney is one of the people who is currently running for President of the United States of America. He is a Republican, and has been involved in the recent debates, arguing with other Republican politicians who also hope to be selected as the Republican party candidate in the upcoming Presidential election. … Continue reading →

John Edwards: Fitness Machine

At least that’s what he considers himself to be. In a previous blog I detailed the fitness routines of politicians, who hoped to one day live in the White House. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama lifts weights daily while potential John McCain running mate Mitt Romney is said to be an avid runner. Another politician with a passion for running is former North Carolina senator John Edwards. The 55-year-old father of four has been running for almost 30 years and has finished five marathons—-one of them, in 1983, in just over three-and-a-half hours (impressive by all accounts). However, rather than let … Continue reading →

The Race for President

Not for the White House, but to the White House… from say… New York. Which of the candidates do you think would win? Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama considers himself to be a fitness fanatic. The rail-thin senator from Illinois is a self-proclaimed basketball nut, who enjoys daily runs. According to his website, the 6’1” former high school (and briefly in college) basketball team member plays a game of hoops with staff members everyday, in addition to lifting weights. Meanwhile, potential John McCain running mate Mitt Romney is said to be an avid runner as well, logging about 3 miles … Continue reading →

Politicians and the Media Coverage Game

Obama is in Iraq. McCain is at the Yankees game. Obama is talking to world leaders. McCain is having a party for his good buddy Mitt Romney. This is the media coverage of McCain over the past few days. Now all of the sudden, McCain’s campaign is claiming that Obama is the media darling. (But of course McCain didn’t say that because McCain and Obama never do the dirty work. Their aids said that.) McCain says that Obama being in Iraq right now does nothing to distract the media from his campaign. (I wonder what planet he’s on?) McCain’s Diabolical … Continue reading →

McCain and His New Buddy Mitt

Not too long ago, they were trading jabs during the primaries. They are sharply divided on several issues and yet, McCain just held a social event at his ranch in Arizona in honor of the Romneys. Since the primaries, Romney has been a noted supporter and surrogate for McCain waxing eloquent on economics (something they sharply disagreed over during the primaries) as well as other issues. He is known as speaking well on McCain’s behalf. More importantly, Romney is the first name that has been seriously rumored as a potential Veep. Strange Bedfellows? It may seem strange to have fought … Continue reading →
