With the election less than two weeks away, there is no time to waste.  This seems like the perfect time for a history-making hurricane to creep along the east cost, right?  Wrong.  While much of the country is focusing on hurricane Sandy, many refuse to shift their focus off of the attacks on the American embassy in Libya.  Both Obama and Romney were forced to cancel some appearances due to the storm, however voters are still thirsting for answers about the terrorist attacks before they are ready to cast their votes.  With only 8 days left until the election, things are still getting interesting as far as foreign policy goes!

Making It Relevant

In a recent statement Mitt Romney criticized Obama for causing gas prices to escalate more than they have ever in the past.  Romney has promised to focus more on domestic fuel development as opposed to international supplies of fuel.  The citizens of the US are infuriated with the exorbitant gas prices and are looking for a change.  Similarly, one of the main triggers for the colonists to revolt against the king were the high prices on their basic goods and high taxes.  Unwilling to put up with it anymore, the colonists began their journey to independence, paving the road for us today.  Taking a stand on high prices has proven to stimulate soe change and will be a necessary tool in the years to come.
