The State of the Union

I have viewed the State of the Union address a few times. What most people fail to keep in focus is most public speeches by politicians are ploys for party positioning. President Bush did not have to present data to validate his opinions. Presidents have misrepresented facts or twisted facts to appear to state what is best for them and their political party. As a working American, I personally know the economy is heading the wrong way. Look at the price of everyday needs--- milk, bread, or eggs. Money works in a circular flow, when a major industry like the housing industry, is in crisis, the whole economy is at risk or colasping. American is only a step away from a serious economic crisis.

I have close relatives and friends in public education. The No Child Left Behind legislation is a ploy to eliminate public education. What will happen to children of normal citizens if and when education is privatized? Originally the government will give vouchers to cover expenses, but when the budget is pressed for funds, what happens? Private citizens will be left in the cold. If families can't pay--- no education for their children. Education is hard pressed to really change until parents are educated to prepare their young to be educated----early social adapations.

From One Dream to Another

After watching the video, I thought it was funny, but also embarrassing. As a former president I don't believe he was being disrespectful intentionally. I'm sure he has been working extremely hard campaigning for Hillary, 24/7 and not getting proper rest. I sure the both of them is mentally and physically drained but it's no excuse for his behavior it just make things for Hillary look bad in the media. I think he needs to slow down and take some time for himself so he can be of help to Hillary in the long run. I'm sure he want his Hillary to win one of the most important position in the country and I am sure he will do whatever he can to make that happen.

I can't say that I haven't fallen asleep during presentation, because I have. Some of them have been very boring. I drift off during church sermon, but in a way that is not noticeable , I pretend like I am reading the program and I close my eyes for a few minutes. Never the less, I say what Heather say, we should not judge Clinton's charter for the incident in question. He is human, and we live in a world where we are not perfect, we're gonna make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them.

I don’t think looks, gender, race or youth really matters in television news as long as the news reporter give accurate information, and is doing a great job. Sometimes the public prefer to see an attractive face, because sometimes that can motivate them to watch the news. I personally think as long as they are skill oriented and they present themselves in a professional setting and have a passion for the job then it shouldn’t matter.

Who do I want sitting at the anchor desk of news, I do not have a preference. If I had to choose a person it probably would be myself, but I do believe whoever reports the news we as a country do not care as long as it’s a true story.
