Aren't you sick of the election news?

It seems like it's the same story rehashed day after day. I don't know about you, but I wish the election was over already.

It's going to come down to a choice of whether people want to take a chance with a new president or stick with what they know.

The world is more and more turbulent everyday and it looks like the U.S. is losing fans all around the world.

If you see what's happening in Pakistan, our ally, you will understand that it's so simple for other countries to yell "Death to America". The  fact that they have an atomic bomb doesn't help.

I don't know what will turn it around - or if any one leader can change the way the world views us. I grieve for Chris Stevens' family to lose such a valuable human being that was trying to make a difference.  I hope that life becomes easier for Americans who would like to work and travel abroad. I actually feel bad for the citizens of Egypt - since it's losing much-needed tourism dollars from the West.

This continuing unrest will hurt those who need American dollars the most - the poor of the Arab world.  We have to watch and see what happens....
