Presidential Hopefuls

O.K., am I the only one who believes that Rudy Giuliani is milking the September 11th ticket for all it's worth? A mean, here's a guy who has no minorities on his campaign, has placed Bernard Kerik of all people on nomination for Homeland Security and for Police Commissioner in 2000; yet, he has the audacity to enter the presidential campaign. My advice to the guy: drop out of the race, and make yourself obsolete. No one cares for you to become president and I feel like vomiting just thinking about the possibility of you being in office.I know that Giuliani believes that the Hispanic population in Miami are going to hand over Miami to him, but he needs to awake from his sleepless slumber and realize that Miami is not Florida. He still has to go through all the other minority groups in the state including Blacks, who he so fervently ignore during his domination of New York. The presidential election is not the mayor's office in New York, where he was backed by his corrupt colleagues whenever Black men were being killed and could be classified as an endangered species. If he wants to run this country, he needs to explain why cases and corruption such as "Black and unarmed, Ahmed Diallo was gunned down by New York police with 41 bullets" are still unresolved. In my perspective, Giuliani was not fit for Mayor, and he is definitely not fit for President of any country. He has been extremely insensitive in his continuous manipulation one of our nation's most painful and traumatic moments during this millennium--September 11th, 2001. That boat has sailed and he needs to get off it and try to focus on issues that are important to the American people. As long as globalization exists, there will always be terrorism or some level of deviancy that exists in all societies. So milking September 11, will not make it go away. We need to move on with our lives and if we cannot even resolved inequities, poverty, and racial issues within this country, how do we expect to resolve those issues abroad. Most candidates stay away from these issues because to ignore them is to pretend that they do not exists. However, Giuliani has been Mayor of one of the richest States in the United States and had the authority and the budget to work with such issues and has ignored them. He speaks about immigration issues with such contempt and distaste when he, himself is an immigrant. America needs a president that is extremely open to realizing and if not, educating himself on the benefits of immigration within this country. America needs a president that understands that the education system has been failing for the last couple of decades and that students are being taught by their intellectual equals and inferiors. Stagnation occurs when there is no room for growth--well, welcome to most students college experience. America needs a president who can pass laws to prevent the new loan sharks and mobsters (student loan agencies) from keeping college students and future generations in poverty with unreasonable student loan interest rates. The only difference between the Italian mobsters, loan sharks, and the student loan agencies is that student loan agencies do not break your legs. No, the student loan agencies do worst. They destroy your life and leave you suffering for the rest of your life. If you ask me, I would prefer to take the broken legs and has a home to nurse them back to health. America needs a president who realizes that domestic issues are as important, and even more important that international issues--especially when the majority of the nation's people are struggling. America needs a president who was not born with a gold spoon in his mouth and who can understand the struggles and pain of the country's populace. America needs a president who understands that college graduates have been leaving college in massive numbers with an average of $60,000 in student loan debts while working a $6.50 - $10.00 per hour job if they are lucky. Giuliani is definitely not going to deal with these issues. Maybe, just maybe Obama or Hillary will. If not on the democratic side, maybe Romney will be able to do so. Whatever the case, I would prefer to have a high school dropout in the presidential chair than having Giuliani influencing the country negatively.
