Jeb Bush: GOP "acting stupid" about Latinos
I believe this video in CNN is very true. Most Latinos are democratic supporters because Obama has appealed to the Latinos with his Dream Act. Whereas Mitt Romney has proposed a "Self Deportation Act." The largest minority group in the United States are Latinos and they are one of the reasons why Obama won the Presidential Election in 2008. If Mitt Romney and the GOP wants to win this election, they would have to propose actions that appeal to and benefit to the largest minority group.

Isaac leads to 5-cent gas price spike
http://money.cnn.com/2012/08/29/news/economy/isaac-gas-prices/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
This article reminds me of Gage's WHIPS presentation today about the government and environment awareness. Due to Hurricane Isaac, the shipment of oil to the gulf coast is makes it extremely hard to do. This caused the spike of gas prices in many states today. The price hike might be temporary due to Hurricane Isaac but it is no surprise that gas prices are on a roller coaster ride. It is evident that when gas prices are increasing, people find alternatives to save money and gas such as carpooling or using public transportation making it better for the environment. If gas prices continue to rise, less people are relying on gas stations. At this rate, the government will take the initiative to find cleaner and alternate ways to fuel transportation.

Republican Immigration Platform Backs ‘Self-Deportation’
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/23/republican-immigration-platform-backs-self-deportation/?hp
Althought there are an unfanthomly large number of illegal immigrants coming into the US, I agree that there should be measures to limit these illegal immigrants. However if these immigrants are willing to be educated and be a significant part of the nation, then they should be given the chance to be citizens for this nation.
