Who will win and why?

I think Mr Deeds is the one who has to win. The reason why I’m saying this is simple. I’m a democrat so it’s pretty easy for me to take this choice. Moreover I think Mr Deeds is the one who could give us a solid solution with transportation. As we all know Virginia has enormous issues with transportation and Mr Deeds is the only one who has talked about this. I just think Mr Deeds has his own ideas clearly defined and they promise us a better future than Mr Mc’Donnell’s.

Current Event #5

The article that I’ve read is from The Washington Post. It is about the healthcare bill.

Essentially what it talks about is how people see their own costs worsening under a healthcare bill. Giving us information about polls, and how these have been increasing their numbers since people don’t believe that the healthcare bill is a good idea. People are more likely to doubt about this new reform given that they are pretty sure the areas that will get more affected are quality, costs, coverage, and insurance company requirements.

I think we should wait until a new bill passes. We can not predict whether it would be better or worse if we don’t even know how it would work. What I mean by saying this is people can not say it would not be a positive result if they don’t know how it would be when applied in our society, as we all know a bill looks different when it becomes a law and is applied. Even though there are a lot of things going on with the healthcare bill, I think our governments will take the best choice so people can be contented and relaxed with the new bill. Since it would be really disappointing if people have to pay more for their insurance and the quality of it is decreasing its level.

Current Event #4

The article I read is called Hillary Clinton Now More Popular Than Barack Obama from the Washington Post. Basically, it talks about how the image of Barack Obama has changed over this period of time that he became president, contrasting the image of Hillary Clinton at the same time.

Even though this article says Obama’s presidential job approval rating has increased after he won the Nobel Prize this survey was made before he got it.

We can see in percentage how Hillary Clinton has increased her favorable rating having the best favorable ranking rank within 17 years.

I think it is pretty interesting they way it turns. As we all know Obama won as the representative of Democrats because people wanted him. It is common that people make up their minds and think differently over a period of time. I think the reason why Hillary Clinton is more popular than Barack Obama is simple; she is not the president, she did not take such important decisions as the president does. I think the percentage would be really different if she would be the president of the United States. People change their minds all the time, so basically what we have here is a group of humans who did not like some of the Obama’s decisions; so now they think Hillary would be the best choice instead of Obama.

what is the biggest political issue facing the State of Virginia?

The biggest Political Issue facing the State of Virginia is the Fiscal Issue.

Our state needs to fix its finances. The generosity of state tax relief measures adopted in 1990 and the major withdrawals are some of the consequences that we have to face and hopefully learn about it so we won't make the same mistake twice.

Obama report Card

Obama report card:

I give president Obama a C in his health care plan; I think it’s a good idea what he wants to do by expanding it to everybody, also I find really remarkable that he wants to get rid of the history of people so the insurance companies will not prohibit anybody to have insurance, even though this person has a disease already. The negative part of it is that president is not making it work however; I know it’s really difficult to convince every one about it.

I think he’s doing pretty well with the Economy, so I give him a B. When he became the president of the U.S, this country was on its head, people lost their jobs and could not find any, and people lost their houses, but know, it’s getting better. You can find a job easily; even people are applying to buy their own houses again. I think he’s doing a good job.

I think he is trying to get end up with wars. I give him a C. I think he did pretty well the first couple of months when he took care of this issue, but I think he really needs to work a lot on it.

Current Event #3

The article that I read is called “Obama’s Nobel Prize: Opinion Context” from The Washington Post. This article talks about the recent Nobel Prize that the President of United States just got because of his efforts to make stronger the international diplomacy and cooperation between people.

This article also talks about the approval rating of Obama on issues with a range of 50-55% which is below the average of all presidents since War World II. It points out the international perspective that the president has and it also compares it with the ex President George Bush, giving Obama 67% of people who say they have respect for him against a 24% who say they have respect for Bush. Towards the end, the article points out how the approval of the U.S. has increased internationally.

I personally think this article is interesting because we have a lot of data in it, which compares both presidents the Republican George Bush and the Democrat Barack Obama, giving us more specific information about what people think about them, or what they did right, they did not take care enough or how they change the way the country looks around the world.

I believe it’s a good thing that Barack Omaba has received such an important award as the Nobel Peace Prize because it gives the United States another view. If such an important country has a Nobel Peace Prize president that means that people will trust him more, which could end up in better international relationships hence better trade and economy.

As we all know the war in Afghanistan has been taking place since George Bush was president, but the troops sent to this country have increased their numbers much higher during these days. When Obama was a candidate he said he will do anything to remove troops from Iraq, however he identified the Afghanistan “a war of necessity”.

The article Obama’s Afghanistan dilemma talks about how death keeps rising in the Afghanistan war setting new records, how government is responding about president’s thoughts of sending more people to this war, and the “Biden Plan” which basically is to bring the troops home, so government can concentrate on Al-Qaida instead of Taliban since they find the terrorism more important.

As I read this article I figured how government is always trying to protect themselves but not the people who live in their country. One of the reasons why I say this is because there are a lot of people who are dying out there trying to protect their country, even though they are recognize for this, it still damages them forever. As we all know when people go to war they may not come back, however if they do come back they are not the same person ever again. I personally think wars are not the best answer to solve an issue.

It seems very easy when you are giving directions behind your desk but it’s more difficult when you are literally fighting for your life. As human beings as we are we should be able to talk and come up with an agreement instead of fighting until death.

Discuss one political issue you are personally interested in.

Political Issue: Enviroment.

The political issue I have chosen is the environment because I think many people don’t realize how pollution devastates us.

Since America is one of the biggest countries in the world; hence it has a lot of environmental issues because of its extremely big population. Some of these problems are global warming, unclean air, and the oceans’ dirt.

The reason because I’m interested in this issue is because environmental issues are not like economical issues or abortion issues given that the ecological issues involves every single person in the world, and I think nobody will like to live in a world where pollution as the main character.

I also think sometimes people don’t really realize how the place they are living in is being destroyed and damaged, therefore they will not think how they can change it. But if we just give them a little bit of information about what is going on out there I believe they will make up their minds and will try to find some solutions to solve this issue.

If we actually think about it, it would not be that difficult because we as population can take care of it, we don’t really have to ask for anybody else to do it.

There are no other people who can solve this issue but ourselves, let’s get rid of it.
