USA President's race


Power and political parties exist all over the world. In this opportunity we are going to talk about two USA president candidates, Barak Obama and Mitt Romney.President elections in the USA is a really outstanding factor because one of these both will became president of the most powerful country in the world. This document will show personal information of each of the candidates and proposals.


Barak Obama

In the background are two flags hanging from separate flagpoles: the American flag, and the flag of the Executive Office of the President.



Barack Hussein Obama II was born August 4, 1961in Honolulu, HawaiiFrom ages six to ten, Obama attended local Indonesian-language schools: St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School for two years and Besuki Public School from one and half years, supplemented by English-language Calvert School home schooling by his mother.

He is the current president of United Stades and is the president number 44th of The United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review

Here some facts of his poltical career:
- Represent the State of Illinois in the United States Senate in 2004
- Won March 2004 Illinois Democratic primary 
- Won the Senate election in November 2004
- His presidential campaign began in February 2007
- Won his party's nomination,  Democratic Party
- In the 2008 presidential election, he defeated Republican nominee John McCain.
- He was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009. 
- He was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. 
- He announced that he would be running for re-election in 2012.

One of the most interesting proposals of President Obama is that he will continue with the Goberment Reform.
That includes reform to Immigration policies which has been controversial; Tax reform that looks for rich people to pay more taxes and finally he announced a decrease of the national budged.


MITT ROMNEY

Willard Mitt Romney was born March 12, 1947. He is an American businessman and politician who is the nominee of the Republican Party for President of the United States in the 2012 election. He was the 70th Governor of Massachusetts (2003–07)

Romney is the son of Lenore and George W. Romney (Governor of Michigan, 1963–69). Raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, beginning in 1966, he spent thirty months in France as a Mormon missionary. In 1969, he married Ann Davies, and the couple had five children together. In 1971, he earned a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University and, in 1975, a joint Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration from Harvard University. Romney entered the management consulting industry and in 1977 he secured a position at Bain & Company. Later serving as its chief executive officer, he helped bring the company out of financial crisis. In 1984, he cofounded and led the spin-off company Bain Capital, a private equityinvestment firm that became highly profitable and one of the largest such firms in the nation. His net worth is estimated at $190–250 million, wealth that helped finance his political campaigns prior to 2012.


When Elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney did not seek re-election in 2006. During his term he reached one important goal, he presided over the elimination of a projected $3 billion deficit through a combination of spending cuts, increased fees, and removal of corporate tax loopholes; Massachusetts also benefited from unanticipated federal grants and unexpected revenue from a previously enacted capital gains tax increase. He helped develop and signed into law theMassachusetts health care reform legislation, the first of its kind in the nation, which provided near-universal health insurance access through state-level subsidies and individual mandates to purchase insurance

Romney ran for the Republican nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, winning several primaries and caucuses but losing the nomination to John McCain. In June 2011, he announced that he would seek the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. By May 2012, he had won enough caucuses and primaries to become the party's presumptive nominee, and on August 28, the 2012 Republican National Convention made him the official nominee.

As Obama, Mitt has a proposal for immigrants. He thinks that immigrants are an economical support for USA Economy. One point in favor of Mitt is that he says that there will not be any more cut and hopes to restore economy's freedom.

After reading all fact and information of each candidate, proposals and life facts, I consider that the country need new blood, I think that Mitt Romney will help the country with the crisis due to the experience he had when being governator.

The following text is about the life of one of the best athletes for me, attending to the 2012 Olimpics Games in London. In this opportunity is this city incharged to welcome the most out-standing athletes of the world.
Here, I want to focus in one participant in particular. His name is Santiago Giraldo. He was born on 27th of November of the 1987. He is from Pereira,Colombia. His parents are Eduardo Giraldo and Elsa Salaza and he comes from a nice family. He studied at
La Fontan in Medellín.
Bein said thar, let’s take a look about his sport life.
It is the first Colombian male tennis player in the last 30 years beyond the site 50 of the world.
Giraldo is known for consistently taking huge cuts at the ball, flattening out every forehand and backhand possible when he is able to get a firm grip on the ball. However, such a style of play evidently generates a higher chance of unforced errors.
Among his biggest achiviements, it is important to mention that he has won
Santiago has become the best Colombian player located in the professional world rankings ATP, ahead of Alejandro Falla, also belonging to Colsanitas Team

In that toured Europe got advances to quarterfinals in the tournament in France, Germany and Belgium.

British singer Adele has credited Winehouse's success in the United States for making her and fellow British singer Duffy's journey to the United States "a bit smoother". American singer Lady Gaga credited Winehouse with paving the way for her rise to the top of the charts. She appeared to be using a metaphorical analogy to explain that Winehouse made it easier for unconventional women to have mainstream pop success.Raphael SaadiqAnthony Hamilton, and John Legend said "Amy Winehouse was produced by people who wanted to create a marketing coup. The positive side is that it reacquainted an audience with this music and played an introductory role for others. This reinvigorated the genre by overcoming the vintage aspect".






EXTRAS


There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
It’s bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see your crystal clear
Go head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do

There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch,
And it’s bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

Baby I have no story to be told
But I’ve heard one of you
And I’m gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there
It Reminds you of the home we shared

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turned my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

We could have had it all
We could have had it all
It all, it all it all,
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart and soul
And you played it
To the beat
