Commentary on a collegue's work #2

Marsha writes about an article she came across about how racism still exits even after we have an African American president. Okay first of all he did win because of his race he used that t his great advantage and everyone saw that I mean what was his slogan? "It's time for change" everyone thought it was that he was going to end the war ha! he extended it, the change was that he was going to be the first African American president. And I don't see myself as a racist person, I mean am a minority being I am hispanic, but I just have never believed a single word Obama has said. I havent seen him tryung to help any racism that might still exist in out country.

Commentary on a collegue's work #1

Kosi makes a great argument that I agree with. This war has no meaning and no one truly knows anymore why anyone is fighting and dying over insignificant things. We should be focusing on better things than the war. Like school aid or re-establishing the crappy economy we have, we cant keep paying for a war that is not worth fighting for. In my opinion war is never good it just brings more trouble to the table and doesnt really solve much. And where is this change that we kept hearing last year? yeah just like I expected we said goodbye to the bad Bush regime to say hello to a crappier Obama regime. Are we just that stupid?

Electoral College

In the 2008 elections, I didn't vote. Mainly because I knew Obama was going to win so I didn't see the need to try to stop that from happening. I recently discovered that It would not have made any difference anyways if I had voted because we don't get to pick the president but the electoral college is the one in charge of that. what kind of BS is this? compared to the amount of people living in the United States, the amount of people electing our nations president sounds pretty insignificant. there's maybe about 300 million people in the United States and only 538 of those people actually pick the president. Aparently instead of directly voting for the actual president, us as ctizanes vote for the electors who then vote for the president. Now we must eep in mind that the members of the electoral college are allowed to vote for whoever they want regardless of which side of the political parties voted for them. I feel completely baffled.

OBAMA’S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

President Obama just recently received the Nobel peace prize at the same time that our country is at war and he is escalated the war in Afghanistan and is planning on extending the war in Pakistan. A commentator in The Boston Globe refers to this award and acknowledges that Obama is basically a hypocrite for accepting this award but at the same time one can tell hes an Obama supporter for referring to Obama as a graceful person. Obama accepting that peace prize was basically a slap in the face to the war that he is still having go on. I am really confuse with this commentator because at the same time that he is critiquing he boasting about Obama. I'm sorry but why have a comment that is basically bipolar?
