It comes to know surprise to discover Obama promoting his defunct jobs bill. I mean hey, the Senate and House passed on it and now he is hoping that Congress will take a second look and "do the right thing." Obama has been in office since 2009 and is still trying to resuscitate this economy. The unemployment rates are still staggering and he promised us CHANGE!
I am sorry but I have heard this all before. The country has a major deficient hanging over us and Congress is just suppose to say "yes" and pass this $447 billion dollar jobs bill. Is this Obama's take on resuscitating our economy and rebuilding our faith in him. The Republicans said he is a one term President. If you were going to make change and help this economy like you promised if you were elected, why now set up this bill to get people working? Shouldn't this have been your first priority like you promised.
Don't misunderstand me, we need to get people back to work but I am tired of these political games of more promises. Obama is voicing out to all middle class workers of putting people back to work and gaining employment. Well that is all fine and dandy but who is going to pay for this? When is this finally going to happen?
Then you have our Vice President shouting FEAR into the public that without this bill being passed, crime of rape and murder will increase. I think that is taking it to the extreme, I mean the economy has been in turmoil since 2007 and there were no job bills presented or passed until now. The Democrats like to put fear into the American people. They are now putting the blame and pressure on Congress to get this bill passed. Biden mentions taxpayers would be tax modestly and that taxpayers would not object. I object, more taxes taken out of my paycheck and this bill does that work. My message to Joe Biden "please don't speak for me."
They mention the wealthy will be taxed but why do the middle class, like myself always pay more takes than these millionaires they speak about. I for one am tired of the promises, speeches, and talking. Just get it done, rebuild this country and get America back to work like you promised us CHANGE in 2009. Obama says "no games, no politics, no delays." I say stop talking and help this country like you promised and prove yourself to not be a one-term President.

Ann Coulter Calling Out Democratic Spending
Ann Coulter is known for her very opinionated and very controversial talk, so it was not too surprising finding this commentary on her blog bashing Democrats one more time. After reading her blog One President Left Behind: McConnell Schools Obama on Debt it was another political view that Democrats do not want to save or cut any government spending. This is not a surprise Clinton, Edwards and now Obama has promised it to the public. I selected Ann Coulter's blog since she is known to say what she feels and does not hold back. Although her words or voice can be very controversial, I personally love her approach. Ann definitely stands by what she believes in and is not scared, she gets everyone's feathers ruffled. I can't help but to continuously remember Obama's promise of a better economy, just when we needed it the most. Obama stated more jobs, health care, energy and gas sufficient America and so much more. It is now 2011 and the economy has not gotten better, more homes have been foreclosed, unemployment rates are high in all states, and the future is looking very bleak. It illustrates the fact that Democrats are not cutting government spending and this will lead the country to bankruptcy and no efforts on the Democratic side show of saving.
Democrats are blaming the Republicans that it is their fault that they have not provided any proposals on spending cuts and bash the Republicans. This is an example of Democratic spending Obama gave a $500 million stimulus package to a Solar Company in Fremont, California called Solyndra LLC. This Company went into defunct and filed for bankruptcy. This proves Ann Coulter's point! Why didn't the Democrats do more research on this company? Why did they give them 500 million? Why not pay them in increments with process and success? To me this shows the fact of Democrats throwing money away without doing proper research on who they are giving the funds too. I know many other programs and Americans in need that $500 million could have helped. How about jobs? How about the unemployed? How about the homeless? Or students in debt with their financial aide and cannot find a job?
Ann Coulter is targeting the whole public, no matter what political party you favor. She is a lawyer and has worked with judges, government and government cases and issues. I for one believe her claims since she has experience of how things work. The blame game does not work for Ann Coulter who talks about Democrats running all branches on government, stating Democrats do have power to make a change in spending. She states while Obama is in office there will be more spending than saving and we are headed to a very bleak future ahead. The public think Republicans are the bad guy but I feel they are trying to do something about this deficit. Ann Coulter tells the reader that the Democrats are being called out on their spending and people are listening. Senator McConnell has called out Democrats and proposed a bill to raise the debt ceiling but to also proposed ways of how to cut government spending. Are the Democrats listening?
I for one selected Ann Coulter's blog since I have seen her on T.V. and heard her on the radio. I know her books are always on the best seller list. I admire her for one since she uses her voice and never back downs. She might be controversial but she likes to "stir the pot" to make people listen that this is happening in the government and the United States. I for one am considering just like she points out Greece.

Rick Perry Again.......
I wanted to locate an editorial about Texas or Texas government and I did not have to look far. This editorial caught my eye Political weight of Perry's rock. When you are Governor anything you say or do is under a microscope and put out in the media, but when you are trying to gain a Republican nomination for Presidency you are under a very fine microscope. The editorial illustrated just that, that no rock goes unturned no pun intended. The ideas of this editorial show any skeleton's in your closet with be found no matter how small or big it is.
Some highlights in this editorial are that this week big surprise, Perry is in the news again. The Washington Post reports that Perry and his Father leased a parcel in W. Texas of ranch land called or known as "Niggerhead." At the entrance of this hunting camp a big rock illustrates "Niggerhead." Since this is located in Perry's hometown he immediately responded that after leasing the land they painted over the rock. Others have stated Perry never painted over the rock and the rock continued to be visible even when guest and visitor's would occupy the land. Perry continues to stand by his claims and informs everyone he has not been to that camp since 2006.
My reasoning for picking this editorial is the title first caught my eye. Perry has been in the news more times than ever due to him wanting to be the next President. This editorial addresses how Perry has been declining in polls with decreasing numbers due to bad performances and stories that have currently been told to the public. With all campaigns he has been attacked due to his view and opinions on issues like illegal immigration. The author shows that this is not Perry's first time being called out as a racist. Perry has used racial language and images in the past to present a point. The author does let the reader know that Perry nor his Father actually owned the land but just leased the parcel. This will be debated again on how the public will react towards Perry when voting time does arrive.
The author wanted any reader to be aware of what is going on currently with Rick Perry. The intended audience can be anyone from Texas to all citizens due to him trying to win the Republican nomination. The author wants to keep the public informed. I believe the author is credible, they are reporting the facts of Perry and his Father leasing the parcel and what was painted on the rock. The fact that neither actually owner the property was accurate and fair towards Perry. The arguments that are faced with is what was actually done to the rock, was it painted over as Perry states? Or did the rock continue to be present for all visitors to see? The only evidence is the parcel was leased and not owned by the Perry's. There are concerns due to Perry's past racial language and images used to make a reader or viewer believe that Perry did nothing to that rock. I do not believe he is a racist due to all the immigration reforms and laws he is trying to create for immigrants.
It seems to me that the rock was painted with Niggerland prior to the Perry's actually residing in the land. What happened after if it was painted over or not is unknown. I agree with this author that Perry is under a fine microscope and every rock will be turned and all skeletons will come out of the closet. It still remains how favorable Perry is in this election due to these issues and attacks coming out. I agree with the author that Perry's number have declined and the reason are due to these stories. It seems to me that as more debates are in the future what else will be brought up. You can't hide thing forever, they always have a way of coming out.

No Child Left Behind
The "No Child Left Behind Act" of 2001 also known as (NCLB) was establish by George Bush, that all children should receive fair education in public schools. This act enables a promise that educating our children should not only be a priority but setting high standards and expectations to offer a good quality of education to all children than more then just basic skills. This would be done through federal funding and would require all government run schools to take yearly test to all students.
Now fast forward to Obama in office and revisions he would like to make to (NCLB). Obama contradicts himself from speeches he made during his campaign about (NCLB) to the new (NCLB) requirement waivers he now states. The revisions would effect accountability requirements of (NCLB) that would change the law to now require states to test theirs students regularly versus annually. The results of those test would not be taken into such a high regard as it was in the past. Obama and his Administration think )NCLB) is too harsh with regards to test, school's failing or passing, the stress on the teachers and state and harsh sanctions. Obama says Congress has not fixed flaws to (NCLB) and he wants to take ownership and make these changes.
I selected this article due to the fact of more promises from Obama. I have friends who are teachers that are either unemployed due to lack of jobs in the field or struggling and purchasing school supplies out of their own pockets. You hear on the news how many cuts they are making in budgets and funding in all schools even at our own college. With all these changes in education and lack of funding how can (NCLB) really survive. It's essential education should be a right to every child to have the finest education. As education cost continue to grow, even for myself how if the federal government going to continue to fund (NCLB)? This is an important article to read for not only ourselves who are currently in school but for our future children.
