Bush urges Congress to approve war funding before Christmas

Thursday president bush called on congress to approve billions of dollars in additional funding for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan before lawmakers leave for their Christmas break. This article talks about how bush keeps asking for more money to use in Iraq and Afghanistan. This article also talks how bush doesn’t really have a plan for what he is planning to do after leading this country in war for so many years. I really like this article because it explains very well on what the president said about this war and how he would handle it but we are all seeing that the way he said he would handle it isn’t the way its being done right now. Also this article explains how other members in congress feel about this topic and the decision our president has in the past and the decision he is making right now.

COLBERT '08

“His honest and un-biased opinions are refreshing especially after listening to all the crap that most of the media focuses on in today’s world" says Kristen. Very true and very powerful statement. I would 100% have to agree with you about how the media and all of us spend to much time caring about whether Britney Spears lost her case in court for her kids custody. But we don’t spend enough time getting to know about our troops in Iraq or the fact that we still don’t have government healthcare for every citizen in this country or about all the homeless and people in poverty. Even though some people think it’s a joke about him running for president. I say we let him run. Just because Colbert is a comedian doesn’t mean he can’t be interested and can’t run for president. He has succeed in opening most of the country’s eyes about serious issues like gay marriage, healthcare, abortion, the war and many more through comedy.
Once again VERY VERY VERY GOOD POST...LOVED IT =D

Hillary Clinton '08

Born on October 26, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois, married to our 42 president, Hillary Clinton. Why should we vote for her? In my blog this time I will talk about why I will vote for her in the next election. First reason; she supports abortion. I also support abortion because I also believe that a women has the right to decide whether she wants to keep the baby or not but I also believe that it’s wrong when you keep getting it because you don’t practice safe sex. Second reason why I would vote for her is supports gay marriage and believes in equal for everyone. In the recent news democratic presidential hopefuls stressed their common ground with the gay and lesbian community in a televised forum, but one significant exception loomed--same-sex marriage. Thursday night's forum in Los Angeles was sponsored by the Humans Right Campaign Foundation. Broadcast on the gay-themed cable network Logo, making it the first-ever televised presidential forum on gay issues. Asked what was at the heart of her opposition to same-sex, Sen. Hillary Clinton said, "I prefer to think of it as being very positive about civil unions." She also added " It's a personal position, for me, we have made it very clear in our country that we believe in equality. How we get to full equality is the debate we're having." And the last reason why I will vote for her is because she at first voted for the use of military force in Iraq, but she not says she would have voted differently she says "if we knew then what we know now." I also believe that war isn’t the answer. And at first I think it was good that our troops were in Iraq but now I wonder why and what are we really there for?
