Blaming Presidents for being "bad"

I have heard people recently saying over the years, that they hate president W Bush. They say such things, but they cannot back it up with a why. The simplest answer is he was "bad" and no other thing. People have conditioned others to belive their opinions hail over all. If one person says it, the next mindless person agrees forcing the friend of this mindless person to agree with him. It spreads like a disease. I believe some people cannot make their own minds up, so they go off some leading politician for a pointer.
Back to the bad President part, I do not believe W Bush was bad, only he made false decisions every here and there like a normal person. Presidents aren't God, and make mistakes or silly actions like any person would. Like a normal person, he also had moments of praise, everyone has ups and downs. People wonder why we voted for him again? Well guess what? You picked him so why call anyone bad?
People have done the exact same treatment to Obama. I am not the type to insult for having your own opinion, and I do know people don't always agree with me. I think if people want to smack talk Presidents, why don't they go run for it and see how easy it is then. I have come to the conclusion that people will always have alternate political views, opinions and what not. Therefore calling a President bad isn't necessarily bad in itself because it shows that we are healthy as a country. Criticism is okay, just remember to back up your opinions or you will look like a fool.

America's Problems


This particular blog has some deep meaning to some people. Being American is being diverse and most people are fine with that very fact. He claims there is certain Americans of European descent who aren’t as comfortable with the diverse cultures of their country. People should realize that although America started with Europeans, it doesn’t really matter what “race” you are. He goes on about not thinking Obama would’ve won the presidency, as he also said he didn’t think America was ready for a black President. I agree that most people would think America wasn’t ready for a black President. I think that African Americans have much of a right to this country as any other ethnicity. If we remember how we came to be in this country, people should then stop being naive about our races and cultures. I agree with most of the things this blogger says, except for the fact he uses “their people”, referring to African Americans. I think it is very incorrect to use that term. I think people shouldn’t act like whites can only run America. All ethnicities of American descent are American; therefore we all should be equal. This idea is still taking time to be set in America, and it has be preached for many years. This showed me some insight on how people think still, and it’s a bit disappointing.

Unfathomable Burning of Korans


This is an article about how we “accidently” burned some Korans during a library clean up. We claimed it was a mistake but who knows if its true. This article proves some valuable points about how we handled things in Afghanistan. We have done this to ourselves, burning what means a lot of importance to their culture. I agree with this writer in the fact of their anger being understandable. People must know, Afghans hold different values then us Americans, therefore becoming more violent then how we handle things. If someone burned our flag, we feel disappointed, not violent usually. The Koran is the key of their religion, life, and culture. What our military has done is unacceptable, and should carry more intel about the Koran, so “accidents” don’t happen. We therefore let harm upon our soldiers, laying death to two. I don’t think people will ever respect other cultures/religions in our country. We need to take things accountable and not make silly “mistakes.” If we will ever be considered a great country, it would be first to not make dumb mistakes and upsetting foreign countries. I think this author proves the point in how we handled this situation a little wrong. We need to be accountable for our people, and our military forces should know better than to burn a Koran knowing its consequences. I don’t think it was an accident, we don’t send undereducated military forces to burn stuff in a library. Maybe it was an accident, but a dumb one at that.

Government allows for more space for wind power

This Article from The New York Times seemed very interesting to me. The Federal Government is willing to let more space open for the wind energy scheme. It would give us more power, a bit more easy on the environment. I'm no advocate or crazy environmentalist, but it seems like a good idea. However instead of spending money to do so, it should go to more pressing matters. Our president may be thinking right for doing this, but is it important at all? It is a way for us to save money, however, it is costly first. This explains how it can create more jobs, and that is good I suppose. This Article is interesting to me, and is interesting to know plans for better energy.
