Second Post of Second Quarter

Can you believe all this controversy about the new Senate seat in Illinois? I can't believe that this governor would try to sell it! The day that the Governor was caught truly was "a sad day for Illinois." Now the decision has to be made whether to put this decision in the hand of the voters, a new governor, or the old governor. Polls are leaning towards letting the people decide but this could take months, and we just don't have the time. I hope that this whole scandal get resolved soon because I don't think our country can take anymore drama from the political front until after the inauguration in January.

First post of second quarter

So I was sick last Friday and completely forgot to do my first post but I'll make up for it now. I can't believe Obama chose Hilary Clinton as his Secretary of State! I'm really upset by this decision. There are other politicians that are more qualified for the job. I see this as a publicity stunt/ support gathering ploy. The Secretary of State is supposed to be in charge of affairs. What kind of international experience does Hilary Clinton have? Some people say, "Oh well, when she was first lady..." NO! I will stop you right there because she was never part of the main discussions about treaties or agreements, she never had to deal with terrorist countries let alone negotiate with them. Others say "Well Bill Clinton himself..." NO again! HILARY CLINTON IS NOT THE SAME AS BILL CLINTON! If you want Bill Clinton for foreign affairs, why not make HIM secretary of state? I'm sorry Obama, I completely support you, but this was your first mistake of your Presidency, and you're not even President yet.
