It’s stunning. It’s like he just assumes most people are stupid and aren’t paying attention to what he’s doing….is he right?
Let’s pretend Mitt Romney had won in 2008 and done exactly what Obama has done….
Obama kept Guantanamo open. He kept Bush’s indefinite detention policies. He kept Bush’s state secrets arguments to shield the government from any lawsuits. He kept Bush’s guy (Bernanke) as the head of the Federal Reserve. He signed a health care “reform” bill into law whose centerpiece is an “individual mandate” (which is a Republican “market based” solution from the early 90s that Mitt Romney, a Republican, instituted at the state level in MA a few years ago). He tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan. He has committed about 50,000 troops to Iraq indefinitely (he claims they’re non-combat troops and that the war is over). He signed a bill to keep the tax rates on the “rich” the same as they were during the Bush years.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110404/ap_o…
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama formally launched his re-election campaign Monday, urging grass-roots supporters central to his first White House run to mobilize again to protect the change he’s brought over the past two years.
The official start of his second White House bid, in the midst of three wars, a budget fight with Congress, and sluggish economic recovery, comes 20 months before the November 2012 election.

It’s no secret that the Tea party claims to follow the constitution like a 2nd bible. That being said, why don’t Tea Party Republicans seriously consider repealing the 21 drinking age for everyone (not just members of the military). That would be very consistent with their ideology, since the federal government and the supreme court B S-ed their way around the constitution when the law was passed. Plus, remember that the Tea Party marketed itself as an organization that defends freedom. If they truly defend freedom, then they should be against the government telling legal adults what types of beverages they can have and at what age. What do you say?

Hello!
I’m hoping that someone out there may be able to give some insight into my chances of acceptance at these schools.
1. UCLA
2. USC (Southern California)
3. UCI
4. UCR
5. UCM
6. CSU Long Beach
(These are in order of preference)
I’m currently a junior who will be applying to a university right after graduation. I’m a Northern California resident (but would like to move southward for personal reasons) and was also born here. My high school is recognized by many universities as quite rigorous and excellent for a public school.
I’m hoping to major in Biology (which I will be taking as an AP next year) and perhaps go into Dentistry or some branch of it.
GPA: 3.5 Unweighted(currently) will probably be around 3.6/3.7 after some grades are adjusted after the year is over (AP affecting final grade, etc.). Around 3.9 Weighted (will also be higher once adjusted)
SAT: 2040 (will be retaking)
SAT II: 4 different subjects (will be taking soon)
ACT: undecided on whether to take it or not
Number of Honors Courses: 4
Number of AP Courses: 3 (Will be taking 4 more next year)
I went from taking almost zero honors classes in the beginning of high school to an increasing amount of honors and AP’s in sophomore and (this) junior year. Therefore, my GPA suffered a little because of these classes. I’m no brilliant genius by nature so tackling some of these courses has proven to be more difficult than what I was used to.
Extras:
-Sport before entering High School
-300+ hours of community service
-Member of service group for 3 years
-Volunteer at the same place for 3 Years
-President of a school club
-Played the piano for well over 10 years
-6 years of outside-of-school (in addition to the same amount in-school) foreign language instruction (In what most consider to be the most difficult East Asian language)
-2 years of instruction in another difficult East Asian language
-1 College course in East Asian History
-Participation in a brief, government-affiliated program to study abroad in Asia
Additional:
-California resident
-Underrepresented minority (no doubt)
-can receive amazing recommendation letters outside from teachers
-many experiences and notable things to write about in my college application essays
-Again, my high school is considered to be quite rigirous in its course work and the teachers are challenging
-I’m hoping to be the first in my family to go to an outstanding school and really pursue a career that will ultimately be financially successful and personally fulfilling.
Unfortunately, my grades are not as magnificent as those of other students who will be applying to these universities; however, I am interested in knowing what kind of chances I have to my top schools. I’ve checked many scatter grams, statistics, etc. and also realize that there is no sure-fire way to predict where exactly I will be accepted, but I hope that someone will be able to give me some indication (mostly to ease my stress). I am also hoping that my extra-curriculars (although not extensive) will give me some sort of boost, especially my volunteering and trip abroad (which opened my eyes to many new things I was previously unaware of). I am very impressed with my achievements in the area of foreign language and am very passionate about my experiences with it. It is really what allowed me to have as many opportunities as I’ve had, and I feel extremely blessed.
As for my interests, I would say I have interests leaning more towards the artsy/creative side, things I’m naturally good at. However, dentistry has always fascinated me (as Biology also has) and I can say that I have no issues looking and probing around anyone’s mouth.
I tried to add as many details as possible; however, it’s impossible to give you my entire personality over the internet. But, I hope that someone will be able to tell me what realistic chances I have at these schools.
Thank you so much!
