The Civil Report delved straight into the topic of Obama and his promise
and goal to wipe the world free of nuclear weapons. The Civil Report did
remind the reader that Obama stated it would be an important objective to
reach. The Civil Report made it clear that before Obama’s promise could
happen, Republicans need to be onboard. I as the reader found it very
important that the Civil Report reflected that help was need and
cooperation of the Republicans. Both political parties needed to work
together. It gave the reader direction of what type of relationship
Democrats and Republicans have in order to make thing happen, both be in
agreement and what’s in it for me. I would have liked the Civil Report to
talk about the old agreement and new agreement more, especially in detail
of what the agreements have to offer and what exactly did Obama want to
ratify. This way either a reader with knowledge or without knowledge of
Obama’s plan would give us more insight on the topic. I myself was not
aware of Obama and his goal to rid the world of nuclear weapons. That is
why I chose this blog to learn about a topic I was not aware of. The Civil
Report made the reader aware of Obama’s promise to the Republican’s of
spending $100 billion to renovate the nations nuclear weapons facilities
for their cooperation. This makes the reader aware of what trades need to
be made between political parties, to get things done. The Civil Report did
research as to informing us the reader that Obama’s promise to the
Republicans would ensure a reduction of the nation’s nuclear stockpile. I
would have liked to read about what nations actually held nuclear weapons
and how Obama would, in steps establish this process of a world free of
nuclear weapons.
The Civil Report did a good job on informing their opinion about U.S.
wasteful spending and the waste of modernizing expensive nuclear
facilities. We could feel the writers annoyance and firm standing on
spending more billions. I agree with the Civil Report about using the money
on more important programs especially in this economy.
I was excited in reading the first sentence of this blog. I was
disappointed that the Civil Report did not go over, even briefly what the
old and new agreement entailed. I as a reader was looking for more
knowledge by reading this blog. I would have liked to see more comparisons,
statistics or facts on the issue. I do applaud the Civil Report’s
straightforwardness on how they felt about spending and the issue at hand.
I would have liked to read more about the nations that cause a real threat
to the U.S. The Civil Report mentioned North Korea and Iran but I was
looking for the reason why they cause a threat and the previous history
between the U.S. and those countries. I think talking about the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty would make the reader more knowledgeable of
the issue. All in all it was a good read and it was very clear on how the
Civil Report felt about the issue.

Newt Gingrich and his true relationship with Freddie Mac
Newt Gingrich is not new to media scrutiny but as a GOP Presidential
candidate it is no surprise that all of his skeletons are coming out for display in Newt Gingrich's and Freddie Mac real relationship. Newt Gingrich informed the public and voters that he was on
Freddie Mac’s payroll as a historian, but that still remains to be the big
question. Well the cat is out of the bag, in the eight years Newt Gingrich
has received between $1.6 million and $1.8 million from Freddie Mac. That
is a far cry from the $300,000 he originally informed the public. Both
parties have a different recollection of what exactly Newt Gingrich did for
the mortgage company. The housing collapse has affected us all in some way
or form and all the billions the government has injected back to Freddie
Mac, this is a very serious issue.
As voters Newt Gingrich has to tell us the truth on what he actually did
for Freddie Mac, instead of stalling us with smoke and nonsense. When Newt
Gingrich originally started as a consultant which Freddie Mac calls his
position there, he was receiving $25,000 to $30,000 a month to advise the
mortgage giant. Freddie Mac says Newt Gingrich was a consultant and
Gingrich interjects as being a historian, but one has to wonder what on
earth Mr. Gingrich could say or advise on to earn that much a month. The
amount boggles ones mind. Former Freddie Mac officials familiar with the
work Mr. Gingrich was hired to do state that Gingrich was hired and paid to
bridge the gap between Republicans in Capital Hill and develop an argument
on behalf of the company that would stop conservatives wanting to dismantle
their public private structure. Freddie Mac wanted conservatives support
and believed Mr. Gingrich could assist especially with his background of
being a House speaker. Newt Gingrich is insisting that he was not a
lobbyist for Freddie Mac and denies their version of events. Mr. Gingrich
is also stating he warned the mortgage giant about the housing bubble.
Gingrich defends himself and reiterates he has done no lobbying for Freddie
Mac and objects to their version of events.
There are no documents to show and prove who is telling the truth. What
role did Newt Gingrich have with Freddie Mac? Why was he earning such a fat
paycheck? I am sure there is a confidentiality agreement, so will we ever
know the truth. Mr. Gingrich should know by now that you can’t hide things
from the public. You are a public figure and the media will scrutinize your
every move. Gingrich is fighting to represent the Republican party in the
next general election, the truth is needed to assure voters your
credibility and that you are not hiding something as big as this. If Newt
Gingrich is serious about being the next President, he needs to come clean
now and tell the American people the truth, and he must do it now.

Critique - Obama's Federal Student Loan Reform
After reviewing several blog’s to decide which one to comment and critique on, I selected on Lauren’s Obama's Federal Student Loan Reform. This topic interested me the most due to the fact that I am a student who once I graduate will be paying back student loans.
This blog gave a very detailed explanation of Obama’s Federal Student Loan Reform program. Lauren gave exact details of what this plan proposed and explained the repayment plan easily for the reader to understand. The specifics she included on her blog delved into repayments, benefits, percentage of savings for an ex-student, consolidation and the time when the loan is dissolved. Lauren made a comment of how this program is not coming a minute too soon and backed up her statement by all the benefits she included in her blog.
I personally did hear about Obama’s plan but I as a reader learned more specifics of the plan by reading this blog. Lauren did a good job in making the reader enthralled at learning all major issues of this plan. The comparison between federal loans and private loans and how Obama’s plan would only pertain to federal loans. Lauren let the reader know that private loans are the ones that have higher interest rates, higher payments and less payment plans. The comparison really explains to the reader that this Obama’s plan might not be as good as it sounds. The figures how many students would be affected and percentage of savings is really appreciated to really show how many Americans this truly affects. This blog put in the forefront the true of Obama’s new plan as only treating the symptoms and not the real issue. I agree with Lauren that the true problem lies with tuition cost. This blog put the real issues in front of the readers eye’s and after reading it made you realize that Obama’s plan is not as exciting as it first sounded.
I enjoyed reading this blog. Student loans is one of the high problems for Americans especially how the economy is right now. This is a hot topic where even if Obama’s plan goes into affect, It will help a little. There needs to be something done with the high cost of tuition and a regulation on fees. It is crucial to obtain a college degree to find a good paying job but what good is that if you are paying high monthly payments each month to re-pay you student loans. I really liked how Lauren did the comparison between benefits and a broken down reality of what the programs truly means to us. It makes you think twice and she brought all points across and answered all my questions on her blog.
