Can tech personalities break into politics?

This article is about Meg Whitman. Former eBay Meg Whitman is running for Governor in California for 2010 she is trying to prove to people that high tech people can take up politics. Her Opponent is also for the tech world. She is known for her help in revolutionizing how people purchase goods through the Internet.

Obama says he expects 'good health care bill'

President Barack Obama said he is confident Congress will pass "a good health care bill". Obama is trying to pass a health care bill.

Obama is willing to take any ideas that will actually works for reducing cost. In this article Obama is saying he wants people to be open minded about the bill and everything eles. He doesn't want to close the republicans out of trying to pass this bill. Like he said hes going to be president for a while and he wants to work on something he knows is going to work. If he didn't think trying to pass this bill and making it work, works he would'nt try as hard to get everyone behind him and making this work for everyone.

I belive that Obama has good things he wants to do. Some people think we should change it but it's to big of a change i belive that congress will pass the bill. I Fell like American needs to do somthing different.Obama's plans to be president "for awhile" may come to screeching halt if this healthcare plan passes against the taxpayers wishes. I feel like we just need somthing different. Changes.
