Making an impression by Natalia Holvova

As American pre-election fight started already, candidates have a lot of to say to each other and present their attitudes to people as well. The election debates are going on in the TV channels and everybody tries to improve their impression and become the most popular and trustworthy person for the Americans. One of the most important topics in this presidential campaign seems to be immigration policy. There are a lot of illegal immigrants in States who don't pay taxes, don't have proper education and don't speak the language properly, on the other hand they are occupying working positions for thousands and thousands Americans who want to work legally. This is not just harming American economics; this is also causing troubles between people. Maybe the most controversial person in the immigration debate seems to be Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor who led friendly immigration policy in the city what people appear not to like and they are asking how he is going to deal with the same problem on the federal level. He is saying that he had to act operatively and deal with the situation he had in the city. He asserts that the federal laws weren't working so he needed to do it his way and if he becomes president he will have the opportunity to change the federal law that has much bigger power to stop illegal immigration to the country. There are a lot of different attitudes and opinions to the topic and of course the immigration policy is not the only one issue that matters in case of American presidency. Candidates still have some time to persuade electors of their qualities and measures they plan to use after taking up the office.

Rudd is ready to sign the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and step by step bring Australian soldiers back home from Iraq. This is big reverse in the world politics measure. Australia was tight ally of the United States for long time and now it seems that also the last cobelligerent is cutting cold to the politics of war. By Rudd's promise to sign The Kyoto, Australia is going to leave the U. S. as the only country that doesn't contribute in this worldwide agreement.   Even though there was enormous and continuous economical growth in the country during Howard's power, there are some changes that need to be done. Australia needs to move on and it was people who decided which way to go! New expectations are showing up. Who is going to support the war alongside United States? Is the world's superpower ready to fight alone? Is the war worth it? How many and how much was already lost?

Who becomes the winner is often a question of sympathy by Zuzana Blazeckova

The capturing the presidency of The United States in 2008 is coming closer and closer. Politicians debate about the candidates who have the best chance to win. They are not the only ones, because voters of politic clubs conduct many debates too. But the main difference between politicians and voters is the way and their point of view how to consider qualities of the candidates. Republicans and Democrates usually have strong opinions about who will be the winner. While Republicans put greater emphasis on policy, Democrates think personal traits are more important. Attitudes of voters are naturally a bit different. They prefer candidates being honest, strong and decisive instead their likability. The Associated Press and Yahoo!News decided to make a survey around the whole country, which will be based on principal of tracking the opinions of the same people in the course of whole campaign. The interesting part of results will be the fact, how the opinions of the same people will through the campaign change. In general point of view of voters depends on their backgrounds, their employee, age, religion, other beliefs or further experience. In case the elections would happen these days, probably the most likable candidates between democratic voters would be Hilary Clinton, the second position would obtain Barack Obama and the third one would be John Edwards. On the other side for republican voters it would be like the first one Rudy Juliani, the secon would be Fred Thompson and the third would finish John McCain.

Bush's fifth veto has been overwhelmingly overriden by Corina Ciubotaru

For the first time since becoming President, George W. Bush has had one of his vetoes overridden. A bill to improve Louisiana levees and Mississippi waterways, as well as help protect the Florida Everglades has passed the Democratic Congress even though it had been vetoed. It would also help clear out a waterway in the Great Lakes, which hampered transport, repair infrastructure destroyed by hurricane Katrina in 2005 and help out local communities, and all for the sum of $23 billion. It's the kind of bill that doesn't get approved by presidents but makes a lot of difference in the lives of the ordinary people. It was also a sign that Bush is losing control over the Congress and also over some Republicans, who have now voted for the override. It's the fifth veto by President Bush since his mandate started, and just recently, he stopped the passing of legislation allowing poor children to benefit from better healthcare and troops in Iraq to have a pre-determined schedule of returning home. He has been accused of not being in touch with what the American people want and right now, he appears determined to prove this is true. Democratic voices also took the opportunity to criticize him again after 34 Republicans broke ranks and voted against his veto, and they all accused him of not keeping the promises made to people after Katrina. Luckily, the Congress did and organizations like the Louisiana Recovery Authority can go on restoring regions affected by natural disasters.

Nuclear issue on bid by Claudia Sonea

After only six months in office the French President Sarkozy brought a change in the relations with Americans and made a visit to Washington to settle out differences created by the war in Iraq. The visit ended with the statement on Wednesday, when both Bush and Sakozy expressed they desire to collaborate in convincing Iran to give up its nuclear weapons. Despite the rumors that Bush actually heads towards war against Iran, he said that his choice is diplomatic and that is why France and U.S. have to work together. French President added that Iran should be allowed to have civilian nuclear power and if indeed it's true that the main purpose of Tehran is to have access to nuclear energy and nothing more. The meeting was unique due to the fact that it was held to such a neutral place and with great significance for the Americans, the home of George Washington, Virginia. Even before Wednesday, Bush had made a rare invitation to the conservator, pro-American French leader at his parents' home on the Maine coast while Sarkozy and his family vacationed at a lake nearby- soon afterwards the first French couple divorced. It was a good strategy for the two to appear together with the main house behind them, hence the relations between the two countries become better and all conflicts were iron out. Sarkozy wants to make his country a vanguard of the movement against global warming, while Bush sustains mostly voluntary and technology-based solutions to the problem. However he is cheering France's effort to break a political deadlock over elections in Lebanon by traveling to Damascus and trying to discuss the accusations made by Lebanon's anti-Syrian parliament majority in regarding the presidential elections through its allies in Lebanon. The lawmakers gathered in the chamber of the House of Representatives for a Joint Meeting of Congress were impressed by Sarkozy's speech expressing gratitude for the American help during the World War II, Iran's nuclear program, Middle East peace and the stability of Lebanon. Moreover he impressed during his speech when he was awarded by the American Jewish Committee as a tireless promoter of democratic values. He reinforced that France would fight for Israel's security. He surely succeeded to enter in Bush's favors. Still it's a lesson for everyone that collaboration is much better than arguments and protests. Don't go away, there is certainly more to come.

Giuliani's playing all his cards, but many still don't like him by Corina Ciubotaru

Rudy Giuliani's major campaign issues were his being a prostate cancer patient and his years as mayor of New York, and he makes sure he emphasizes these two facts everywhere he goes. Lately he's been taking pride in the fact that in America his he had a 74.4 percent chance of being cured of prostate cancer while in Britain, his chances would have been reduced to 44 percent. The allegation came from a study published by one of his advisers in City Journal, a magazine published by the Manhattan Institute, and was widely contested by doctors who claim the only reason an American would have better chances of living longer after a cancer diagnosis is that the US has better screening equipment; this allows the illness to be discovered sooner and thus gives patients better chances of survival. As for his argument of being mayor of New York for so long, it also seems like a bad choice because this function has still to guarantee somebody's victory in the elections. The idea that running New York City is the second hardest job in the USA has been used before by John Lindsay in 1972, who lost the elections. So it's not a good sign for Giuliani, who is not a much loved individual in New York or anywhere else, for his many affairs, his blunt nature and even for his management of the 9/11 situation. Still, he managed to get the biggest funding of all for his campaign from oil companies, hedge funds and private equity firms.
