Post 19. Job Bill!

Obama is rallying the democractic allies in the white house work on job building plans. They hope to be able to provide jobs to cash strapped states and local governments. Some things included in the bill were a tax reductions on small buisnesses and a $250 security checks for the un-employed.
Not a single republican voted for the plan, but it passed with a 250 votes.

Globul Warming and Arnold

Gov Arnold Sch.....however you spell his last name called a press comfrence in San Fransico to announce that if we humans will not stop global warming then he was going to take action. He will be asembling a council of other California leaders to help in teh fight against nature disaster like teh frest fires and riseing sea levels. Its like a Justice league!
Arnold stated that he likes to make a plan b for everything and now he has to put his plan a into effect. They fear that their state will one day be under water and so now they must work hard to save the enviroment so that they can save themselves.
I hope it works.

Health Care Update

The senate will meet soon to finally talk about the health care bill. If it should pass or not. The Democrats that have been pushing for that bill have now 60 votes for it. The Republicians though are pushing for it not to pass. In the Bill passing process the Bill is already at step 3.
Harry Reid the creater of the Bill is working hard to get this passed. Many other democrats are surprised taht he even came so far. Many conservative Democrats have stated taht they are supporting the bill. If this bill passes democrats in the house and the senate will have to combine to work out the next few steps in passing the bill. It all will be decided soon if this health care bill shall pass.

Critical Thinking.

1. People that would want to ban animal sacrifice are the animal rights activists. Like those phycos PETA.
2. The right to practice any religion would promoted.
3. I would have had a hard time. I don't really like the thought of killing cute little turtles so a some guys leg could get healed but I would have to stay true to teh first amendment. If we didn't then the Constitution would be a fruad.

Terroist Trials

Terrosits in Guantanomou bay prison will be moved to New York to await trial for the 9/11 attacks. After reading the article I think that the prisoners should have just stayed in the Bay and get trialed there. I say just screw the trial and execute them.

Korea is at it again.

Recently North Korea and South Korea got into a sea skirmish, North Korea claims that the reaosn for the attack was based off that South crossed teh sea boundery and fired first. North is now debating how to punish the South for their attacks.
Presisdent Obama is going to visit South K soon and people feel that the attack could be somehow linked to his visit. When Obama goes over there he hopes to send an embasary over to North K and talk with them about this attack (I think that guy will be shot).
This whole mess is like Mr.Trim said. Its like kindergardeners. Everyone wants what the other has, they get mad when they don't get it, and one person is bound to hit the other. You just need to keep them apart. In this case though it doesn't help that North has nukes and thei leader is out of his nut!

Abortion in the health care

In the new health care they are considering having abortaion coverage. In Washington they are considering whether or not they should put this in the new plan. Some sides of the debate don't believe that the government should fund something liek abortion and others say they should. This in my option is a debate that could last awhile.
In my option they should just have it on some other plan, not include it in the new health care plan.

Somer Found!

Seven year old Somer Thompson , whom disappeared on Monday while walking home from school, has been found, but sadly not found alive. Somer's remains were found in a landfill buried under a ton of trash. Investigators identified teh remains as Somer's from teh clothes she was wearing to the birthmark she had on her left shin. Sheriff Rick Berseler had to deliver the sad news of teh find to Somer's parents. He says that was the hardest call he has ever had to make. Thursday morning there will be a proper autopsy to properly identify the body and find the cuase of death. Family and friends of the Thompson gathered around there house the day the news was released to have a small memorial for Somer. The family of her are grevieing heavily after hearing the news.
This is a sad sad situiaton. It had to have been hard as heck for teh family to find this out. I can't help but think why the heck someone would do that. Kill a little girl and throw her out like trash. What a horrible idoit.

Obama's Afganistan Trouble

Obama has been working hard to come up with a good war plan for taking on Pakistan and Afganistan. He has been meeting with his generals and trying to come up with a solution. General Stanley McCyrstol is the head honchco in Afganistan. He is pushing Obama to send about 40,000 more troops to Afganistan to help him out more. Vice President Biden wants to assure people that they plan on killing off most of the terroists there. Obama announced that is one of their main objectives.
I think that if i was in Obama's shoes i woudl try to knock of as many of them as I could. If we pull out theres a chance that there will be another twin tower incidents, if we keep staying with it theres a chance we can knock off the leaders and theres a chance we can get this whole thing over with.

Desert Cross

In the Mojave Desert there stood a wooden cross built in memory of the world war I vets that died there. But now people are making a scene about the cross being there. The Supreme Courts started to work on teh case but ened up giving it over to a lower court who ruled teh cross to be simply taken down. Vets rom taht war and the ones that put the cross up are extremely upset about it. Now this whole case is about whether the goverment should be able to take down relgious things, like the cross.
I think this is just a bunch of poop. Who really cares that a cross was standing up there. Its not liek its hurting anything, its not going to jump out at anyone and eat them. Its just standing there like a tree. I think people bring up problems like this just so they can get noticed. The Courts really had no right to take it down for it goes against the freedom of religion right.

Green Jobs

Jennifer Grahom plans on creating new jobs in Michigan by bringing in 'Green Jobs' or enviromentally safe ones, like wind energy. By doing this she hopes that it will be able to help out over the thousands of unemployed Michigan workers.
I think this is a good idea that she is doing this. Green works are the way of the future and we need to jump on the band wagon now orit could be to late. One problem though is taht people need speacial training for such things and alot of people now don't have it, so they will need to get alot of training for it. Also can it really create enough jobs to get Michigan out of this slump?

Handguns

The Supreme Courts are now considering a ban on handguns nation wide. Chicogo was the first to put a band on hand guns and now it has become an example to other states that maybe that could be a good idea. There is though the thing about this being against teh 2nd amendant but really it isn't. All that it does is restrict it. They aren't saying that they are going to take the guns away just limit the use, buying, and storing rights of them. The court says that most but not all rights laid out by the constitution are checked. 44 states constituions have been tweeked slightly. Most states are not happy about this and especialy the rifle association and its allies are not really pleased.
I think it is a good idea to limit hand guns. Those are the guns most used in murders and violance so I think its good to limit them.

Obama's School idea

Obama wants to add more hours onto the school day. He believes that kids need to catch up with the growing times and need to learn more. He saw in other countries that schools with longer hours the students have higher test scores. He wants that for our country and he wants ou students to learn more. He wants poorer people top be able to get the same education as high class people.

I think adding another hour won't be so bad. I will be able to get my work done that I cannot do in school (due to Tech Prep). I think though it will cost alot to do that, plus it could be inconvient to some students that have to go to work right after school like at 3:30 and school doesn't get out til 5:00. I have mixed feelings on teh whole thing.

Health Care Bill

Nancy Polosi is working on a bill that will tax wealthier Americans and make a more robust goverment run health care bill. This bill has been preseanted to the House,but was shot down by Democrats. The orginal medicare bill was sappose to be veiwed by public learders so they can get a public option on it but Polosi sees that as a way for Democrats to shoot it down again so for her new bill she will not be getting public option and presant her newer version of the bill to the House within the week and without pulic options. The House will be reviewing their own bill along with this one.

I am not really sure what to say about this. I think that we should tax the wealthier people but as for goverment health care or what ever it is I'm not to sure about it. I don't understand whats so bad about it or good about it.

Obama's 1st 200 days

So far in the Obama administartion I believe things are going as well as they could be in this economic mess. He is trying his best to get this country to back on track and handle the big issues like the imagration problem and the war in the middle east. One thing that gets me is people that say he isn't doing anything and is doing a bad job. He is just doing the best he can and he is kinda new to being president. I do not tink anyone can make a solid opition aboyt things until atleast a year has passed and all.
