Have a wonderful life!

I agree with this post for the editorials and commentary to be reported in a way that facts are provided and the reader should be able to form their opinion. I do feel that because The president wanted a second term, the things he did were more foreign than domestic. I mean we killed Osama, got out of Iraq, Gaddafi is dead, we're going to leave Afghanistan soon. Personally I believe the president went in did what he was supposed to do. Now that peace is peeking over the horizon. Now it's time to focus on more domestic issues. I mean that's what the people voted for and want. Now it's time for that "Change" to go into effect. Of course the president isn't the law maker, but he does represent what most Americans want to be represented as. peaceful, caring, and wanting to help. Also, having a business man over someone that understands law is ridiculous to me. Congress makes all the decisions. Right now congress is put in a position that may force it to go to the Democrats. Blocking legislation for party control is ridiculous and childish. All of America's problems could be solved in a year, only if congress stopped their greedy ventures and did what they're supposed to.

The United States Government

The United States of America, I live in this country. I live in Texas one of the most prideful states. I personally like our system. I may lean towards for social programs for the country, but I understand I may not always be right. The states should get more freedom and so should the people. Socially I think the Government should be able to step in and provide feel of order. There's needs to be order, we have so many different people that with out order no one will get heard. This past election shows that the majority of America wanted President Barack Obama. Our leaders heard our voices and want to act on the trials placed before us. So much so there are Republicans and Democrats slowly coming together to heed our call. I feel that this is a history making decade. States legalizing gay marriage and green leafy substances. It's just up to our judiciary system to decide whether all or few states are allowed such freedoms. I hope to see our congress work together and actually get something done. That's the main reason why the president has so much power now. Getting things done requires everyone not just the president. I believe our representative democracy is the best form of Government out there. At least that's what they taught me in school.

Commentary about life and choices

Reading your blog. I feel that there is a right and a wrong in the statements you make. I understand that it's your opinion and it's for school, but I'll offer my commentary on this. I my self am a man and I am pro choice. My reasoning is because no one really knows when to consider a pregnant women's "fetus" and actual live human being. I understand that weeks or a few months before the child should be born is too close to call. What I'm saying is, is that I believe that when the "fetus" or baby is ready and able to enter the world, then that is a living human being. I do feel that 2 months after conception or even more is okay. I understand there is emotional and physical effects that happen to women. No one wants to have an abortion. Which leads to another topic about birth control and sexual education. We lack proper Sexual education and because of this many teens and adults are suffering in America. Other westernized nations don't have as big an issue as the U.S. does. Also under circumstances of rape etc. It's the woman's body. I'd rather have a child come into the world ready with a family that is able to support it. Not coming to a teenager that is just a child her self. It creates more poverty and more families on welfare. Instead of limiting something that doesn't happen as often as the media makes it out to be. A woman should have that right, if there is an issue than there is science that will prove whether to consider the fetus completely human or not. This is a males perspective on abortion.I believe the woman should have a right to chose, and it's not that it's intentional. There is protection ready and available and thanks to Obamacare women now may have birth control on their insurance. It's about teaching and informing people about sex and what can and cannot happen. I feel that sex is such a huge taboo. There is a proper and safe way to have sex and by educating people there will a reduction in abortions and unsafe sex.

U.S. National Government aid

The editorial I found on USAToday explains the Governments role on the Sandy hurricane. The beginning of the editorial describes that the people of the United States feel the Government is obligated to send for aid or help out in any way possible during environmental disasters. I agree with this because I believe that our Government is for the people by the people. Whatever we want the Government to do, we have elected officials that must follow what we say(in order to get re-elected). I believe that we pay taxes to support programs that are used to help sick and hungry American's that have been affected by such disasters. A prime example for why we consider issues like these important is because it's something that had happened to people with out their permission. I could understand the whole bailing out GM, because of the mistakes of people being an issue. When lives are at stack and people are put into positions against their will like with Sandy. Americans feel that such environmental disasters are on par with foreign invaders threatening and killing Americans. Death is a serious issue, especially in your native country. If the Government isn't effective domestically then how can it be effective any where else? For example what happened with hurricane Katrina. People are still suffering over something Government had the power to fix. Lack of Government control over environmental relief is concerning and has been fixed to an extent that there is bipartisan. After all I believe we are all one race and that is United States Americans. (:

Impatient Americans?

The article I read on MSNBC's website describes Bill Clinton criticizing Romney supporters. Bill Clinton is stating that American's are "impatient." Clinton states that, "Gov. Romney acts like from the minute the president took his hand off the Bible he was responsible for every lost job." Critiquing this article, I see it very biased towards Barack Obama and  Bill Clinton. Not that it's obvious because the article is on MSNBC, but there is no balance. I feel that the article would be much better if there was a comment describing what Romney, Paul Ryan, or Bush...anyone really from the Republican side to say what they believe the Americans voting for Barack Obama are in their opinion. I understand why they wouldn't but the article could have brought up the "freeloaders" statement Romney had thrown around. I believe articles need to be balanced even when biased. I feel it gives educated readers a sense of what they're reading is factual and is GOOD. Good articles and stories should be able to tell something about both sides if not equally but enough for the reader to get a better grasp as to what side they like, or what they are reading. I would rate this article about a 5/10. I support Bill Clinton, I support Barack Obama. This Article was just a quick read and didn't give anything that would make an independent feel that they should look into or lean toward any of the two candidates. It's just an article wanting you to see a rough explanation on Bill Clinton's statements. The explanation is very poor in the sense sounding more of an assumption than a thought out response. I felt like I was just reading someone just say something that everyone already knows. I know that it helps Obama's case, but articles like these are not what Americans need to read. We need INFO not silly words.

stage 3!

U.S.A. today's editorial about the Libya and Egypt that the attacks deserve a careful and thought out response. U.S.A. Today's editorial points out that "generalizations don't apply," and "President Obama, who struck the appropriate, level-headed tone in his initial response to the attacks" The editorial staff I completely agree with in the sense that Obama did use the correct response. They state how our ambassador helped support Libya when Gadhafi was attacking them. They even describe Libyan's trying to help the ambassador during the attacks on the embassy. The U.S.A. Today's editorial staff seems very credible to the point that what they say makes lots of sense when looking at things outside the box. Obama doesn't want to generalize the protesters as terrorists etc. especially during an election year. Why should we generalize protesters as terrorists not everyone that day wanted someone today...well maybe not an ambassador but the point is also why do we need to attack people that most of them were protesting. I believe that area in the world does not like western influence and don't find it hard to enact violence towards an American embassy. The U.S. did beef up security in embassies so that outbreaks like the one that had happened don't happen again. I do believe an initial military response would be futile and unneeded. This issue of religion and movies is something the Libyan people need to figure out on their own. The U.S. needs to stand aside say sorry for our freedom of speech and move on. We can't be the savior of the world every day.

On Wednesday, September 12, 2012, an article on MSNBC talks about how the U.S. House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee has blocked a Chinese telecommunications company. Many are considering this action to be another "red scare" for the representatives in the committee. I see it as a Communist versus Democracy issue boiling up again. The committee is fearful of the equipment used by the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei to be equipped with "espionage" tools. This is causing our foreign relations with China to have China in a sorts not feel to happy about this. Our Government states the reason for the block is for national security reasons.
