By: Joseph Kiesel, Joseph Smith, Sebastian Conte = = A Brief Defenition of Obama Care One of the major issue President Obama has taken is a health care reform bill known as Obama Care,which focuses on health care funding,increasing,reducing cost, and removing the social burden that health care has become. How most of America feels about Obama Care The president has been tossing around terms like, “affordable” and “fair” but never defining what they are. Each side in Congress has comparably different ideas on their meanings. However, our liberal president remains ambiguous, playing the role of the outsider and demanding Congress to hash out the details. Obama’s definition of “leadership: on his healthcare bill is simply to take credit for it.

The pros and cons of Obama care __pros.__ =__cons.__=
 * provides health care to vulnurable children
 * helps people that are very poor
 * EVERYONE no matter what can have health care if something happens to you
 * if someone in your family loses job they are still covered by health care (losing money)

= = = = = =  Subliminal Messaging and how it can change your mind = = Another American issue...Subliminal messaging.This theory has been thought upon, that big businesses are using ads to basically induce mass hypnosis.This issue is becoming bigger and bigger considering the means in which media can reach us,which by now, are anywhere and everywhere.The defenition of subliminal means "below threshold" and that defenition in a defenition (definception) means that we can be reading secret messages and our concious mind won't even take notice. But our sub-concious mind is heavily influenced to do whatever this message may say or imply.

Subliminal messaging in advertising These usually take the form of hidden words in normal advertising, or innapropriate shadows in the backround. Do these companies make these commercials for fun? NO! They use these most common,sexual references, because they are associated to pleasure,and if an item is pleasurable you'd want to go out and buy it.

‍How does this relate to Political Elections? George Bush and Al Gore were in a fierce battle a few years back. Trash talking ads aren't an unusual thing at all in politics.So how was this ad different? This anti-Gore ad blatantly said "RATS" in it. To our concious mind that doesn't matter,but in our sub-concious mind we think rats are bad,therefore this add uses mass hypnosis to increase voter strength.‍

‍Same sex marriages One of the biggest issues in America is same sex marriages, there hasn't been any national laws to allow same sex marriages only because america is split in half of in favor of same sex marriages and not in favor. In presidential elections most candidates never really go into much detail about same sex marriages because then they might lose alot of voters in the election. So what they would usually say is "let the the states figure it out." even though it seems like they are procrastinating they are trying to protect their campaign.‍

As you can see.. President Obama doesnt go into much detail about how we should or should not have a national law about same sex marriages because he doesn't want to upset any of his voters. but its not just president Obama who is doing this mostly ‍everyone ‍else it too. But on the other hand Mitt Romney has come openly about same sex marriage and it being wrong. It may put a large downfall on his votes, ‍but unlike president obama he has exclaimed ‍his opinion on the subject. media type="youtube" key="L7Wn5NXhUjc" height="315" width="560" align="center"
