US: Medicare to hit financial woes sooner than expected

In this article, as predicted by my governement teacher Michael Palo, Social Security is expected to run out of funds by the year  2026. Even further cut backs have estimated that Medicare is to run out of funding for its programs in the upcoming years. This is devaastating to those who use these programs some 60 million Americans use.

Why resist a legal path to citizenship if voters support it?

The overall main idea of this article is that most Americans support illegal immigrants the right to a formal legalization process  to become full American citizens. In a poll that was taken in 2006 over 78% of Americans supported legalization, if immigrants were given backround checks, paid fines, and had jobs. This discussion has been of hot topic, and as said by one political analyist, "Is more like a marathon, than a sprint."

Obama visits Texas, but eyes larger Latino vote outside state

Basically, what this article is trying to explain is that the Latino vote is a stronghold to Obama's campaign. It states that even though Obama will not win over Texas for the Latino vote, it will win it in Nevada, Arizona, and other places such as Virginia. It also goes on to say that eventhough the turnout for Latino voters was 2-3, we still need more voters. Finally, I would like to point out that this  article includes the word, "fillabuster."

Poll: Economy fears temper Obama's bin Laden bump

This article depicts that eventhoug Obama's ratings have gone up as far as publicity, his reputation as far as being president has dropped. The economy has still been an ongoing issue, and remains the same in the American publics eyes. This is actually what Obama should be focusing on, rather than the war which is damaging our economy even further. Until Obama can make a change sustainable for the American public, it will be a close election in 2012.

With bin Laden dead, should the Afghan war die with him?

What this article depicts is, "should the death of one terrorist (Osama) end the war in Afganishtan?" The answer is not quiet, with so many new terrorist trying to make a name for themselves, it would be stupid for our military to move out just because of one victorious kill. The fight in Afgan, however, will down size its troops by 10,000.

The secret team that killed bin Laden

In the wake of a new victory for the U.S. a secret Navy Seal Group a.k.a the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) killed and capured 22 victums in a compund inside of Pakistan. In Islambad, they found the head of the operator of the September 11 attack on the twin towers. Osama Bin Laden was shot twice on the left side of his face. Later, the same crew recovered the body, and brought it back to their commanding officer, the president of the United States, Barrack Obama.

Profane Trump: 'Our leaders are ... stupid people'

It seems the more and more Donald Trump wants to become president, the more and more controversy he brings along with him. In a Las Vegas speech given  by the wanna-be canidate, Trump cussed up a storm  saying, "F--king Politicians" and calling out president Obama. He goes on to say that Obama would rather make schools over seas, rather then here in the U.S. In my personal opinion, Trump is not only a disgrace to Americans across the nation,  he is a joke in the political  world, and has no right to even be associated into politics.
