DIDI LIMA ON WHY SHE THINKS HISPANICS SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA »

“We don’t want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community,” Lima the Hispanic community liaison for Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign told The Associated Press. “And that’s what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don’t want that.”

“I’m very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don’t want that,” she said.

Let’s take a short moment out of our daily gossip reports to talk about something that effects nearly 60% of the readers who visit GOT daily. Congress is currently debating a decision to bail out struggling Wall Street banks. This decision will cost Americans $700 billion. Republicans and liberal Democrats are for it, saying that this bail-out will “help keep the crisis in our financial system from spreading throughout our economy.” Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke also supports the bailout bill, stating that, “this legislation should help to restore the flow of credit to households and businesses that is essential for economic growth and job creation, while at the same time affording strong and necessary protections for taxpayers,” he said in a statement.

But will this really help? Is this a short-term fix that will possibly blow up in the face of our future president later on down the road? Are they just patching up the problem temporarily? Should we, as Americans, write the government a check for $700 billion to fix mistakes caused by 8 years of the George W. Bush administration?

Senator PRESIDENT Obama and that old dude they call “John McCain” participated in a debate last night in Mississipi. If you’re living on planet earth right now, you’d know that the U.S. is currently struggling financially, and when Obama begins his 8-year term (yes, he will get re-elected … no doubt about that) on January 20th 2009, it is going to be up to him to fix all of this. And after watching last night’s debate, I sincerely believe that between him and McCain, he’s most definitely the man for the job. The two of them also weighed in on issues regarding foreign policy, foreign oil dependence, and more. If you didn’t get a chance to catch the debate last night, then there’s absolutely no excuse for you to not be able to catch the full videos somewhere online. I even did the looking for you :) Click here!
