Gadhafi-"Libya loves me and America is not the international police of the world"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Mummar Gadhafi was interviewed today and he denied all anti-government protest taking place in Libya. He said that all his people love him and would die for him! He blamed all this violence taking place on al-Qaida. He also said that President Obama was misinformed about the situation, that he must be speaking about somewhere else. Gadhafi also stated that "America is not the international police of the world." That's pretty funny that he would say such a thing because it does seem like America likes to stick our noses into everyone's problems. But then interestingly enough he says "I'm surprised that we have an alliance with the West to fight al-Qaida, and now that we are fighting terrorists they have abandoned us," he said" (reported ABC's Christiane Amanpour). So considering that statement, he wants America to come and serve justice with them. lol but ohhh no wait he feels abandon by America. I dont know it kind of seems contradicting to me in some sense hmmmmmm. .

Class discussion reflection: Ground Zero

Our class discussion on Ground zero was heated. It was clear who was opposed for the building of the mosque and who was for it! I happen to feel strongly about the situation, at first I was opposed with out even educating my self with the right information.After researching a little more I started to belive that maybe I was in the wrong and I should reconsider my oppinion but I continued to research more and view interviews and now I realize that I'm deffinatly opposed to this building near ground zero. Some people from both sides of the class made reaally good points. It was cool to see that some people were influenced by the discussion and changed there oppinion.All in all I learned alot of information and after learning the pros and cons I still stand my ground with my opinion on this situation.

State of Union 2011

Wordle: SOU
In the State of Union President Obama summed up the challenges facing the country and his plans to meet them. This was the first by-partisanship seating in the history of SOU. He appointed to the country's number one issue, jobs. The unemployment rate is still horrific and called for new investments such as clean energy and education. Obama spoke about innovation and how we has a country need to 'out build' the rest of the world. He claims;"to get behind this innovation and to help pay for it " he is asking congress to eliminate the billions in tax payer dollars we give to oil companies. It was very humorous when he rhetorically asked "i don't know if you have noticed?.. But they are doing just FINE on their own". Obama also threatened to veto any bill set on his desk with ear marks inside. Health care was defended by Obama, even tho it was repealed by republicans. He also spoke about a personal case who was now hopeful for her children to have a good future because she was become an inspiration to them since she returned to pursue her education. One of my favorite part's of the speech is when he spoke about the United States soldiers, he said that there is a diversity of race and different types of soldiers that serve us including gay soldiers. Obama said "Starting today their will be no American forbidden to serve the country because of who they love". Debt was talked about constantly, the government spends more then what they can take in. He talked about cutting down on allot of programs that would help for example, the secretary of defense has agreed to cut down on military spending that are not needed. Although he talked about security and how we have put in efforts to forbid any extremist trying to hurt our homeland. He spoke about how we need to double the export of goods we produce. President Obama's speech was in my opinion encouraging to achieve a higher degree of education. By showing innovation to raise standards of teaching and learning, he will replace no child left behind by race to the top. All in all Obama's speech targeted the economy, and how business's need not only consumers but credit in order to create jobs , to how America didn't vote for gridlock, he asks a reform to improve this nation, and lastly sacrifices will need to be made to improve the future of the United States of America.

Train accident on Magnolia!

Crazyy stuff, a fifteen year old girl got hit by a train and passed away! :O woww!! its seriously like 7 minutes from my house?
She let the first train pass and decided to pass through the train tracks but she didn't see the metro link coming the opposite direction!This is so unfortunate and sad! She attended Norte Vista high school, but originally was supposed to attend La Sierra High School. It's so crazy to think that she didn't not think she was going to get hit by a train on the way home from school when she woke up. Tragedy strikes again. . may she rest in peace, and hopefully this will cause pedestrians to have more caution!

National anthem disgrace!

Christina Aguilera sang the United states National anthem in front of millions at SuperBowlXLV. In my opinion i think she was everywhere while singing, she has a beautiful voice! I don't understand why she decided to sing it the way she did. On top of that she murdered the words lol what was supposed to be " "O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming" turned into "what so proudly we watched at the twilight's last [unintelligible lyric]." Now if you know this is thee BIGGEST event watched through out America and a MAJOR HIGHLIGHT of your career why would you NOT practice it. Now obviously she hasn't been the only one to mess of the words of the national anthem but she should have known the hell she would receive from the press/media just like those other artist have. Thankfully right after her mistake she said the "rockets red glare" (and soldiers were shown on the telescreen) the audience broke out with a huge applause so that saved her from the total embarressment!

Lettss watch



lol now i remember 2009's SuperBowl and the national anthem was sang by Beyonce knowles. . all i got to say is BEAUTIFUL AND FLAWLESS!!!
lets preview


Bloggers. . what performance did you like better? Christina's or Beyonce?

WHIP:Obama's Second Year Widened the Partisan Divide:

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

President Obama has an overall 81% presidential approval rating by Democrats and only 13% of Republicans. According to Gallup's points there is a 68-point gap in party ratings. It states that Obama is the fourth-most polarizing president in his second year of running since Dwight Eisenhower(1953). GW.Bush accounts for 6 of the 10 most polarized presidential years in Gallup history.. In Bush's fourth year in office (the year he was re-elected) there was an average of 76 point gap in approval ratings of him between Republicans and Democrats, and that's fairly close to Obama's average just being the second year! I decided to pick this article because we had homework dealing with surveying, and in that survey it asks us to get the public opinion on President Obama if they approve or disapprove; This article just so happened to be one of the headline articles on my homepage so i chose this because it shows stats on previous presidents ratings and it definitely relates to our assignment.

'Ground Zero Mosque': A Conservative Undermines His Own Crusade

Leonard Leo is chair man of the United States International Religious Freedom (USIRF), as his duty he is to encourage/ensure religious freedom extends to all corners of the globe. Now the controversy about a Mosque being built next to Ground zero is considered as "a strategic move to slap the face of Americans" according to the Liberty Central. The Liberty Central is against the 'Cordoba House' project, which endorses the Islam culture. The Cordoba House's mission is to foster dialogue, facilitate understanding, and promote research on Islam and Muslims in Canada and the role of faith in public life. What’s interesting is, Leonard Leo was recruited to be the director of this group (Liberty Central). The debate is whether or not Leo should be associated with people who is defiantly against and most likely to deny the New York Muslims to build this Mosque? Normally this would be screaming out S C A N D O L O U S to me! But honestly I really don't think it is right for The New York Muslims to build a Mosque right next to Ground Zero. Now they should understand why it’s morally wrong for them to do so because Ground Zero is considered as hallowed ground for Americans. Just like I understand and believe its wrong for Muslims to be denied the action to build a Mosque anywhere else, but it seems quiet appropriate to me for them to get turned down to build there Mosque right next to Ground Zero. Now if Muslims get denied building the Mosque anywhere else, then that is morally wrong and we should take in to consideration that we are being unreasonable, discriminating and "Islam-phobic".
hmmm what do you bloggers think about this?

Brutal Bullying in America

Thirteen year old high school student was brutally beaten in Philadelphia by seven guys ranging in the ages of 14-17. This was recorded and went on for about twenty minutes and ended this torture by hanging him on a wired fence. This is especially disturbing because there were eye witnesses who didn't take action, not even a 911 call. Ive personally been a victim myself, I got jumped by three guys and two girls (all older then me). I got attacked getting off the bus walking towards my house, similar to the victim in the video (he was walking home after school). Everyone was just watching me get beat. .even the bus driver! Luckily some justice was made and the attackers got sentenced to several months in the local juvenile detention center. Honestly I don't see the fun in hurting one human being to that extent. It's sad because 40% of the people that I have spoke with, can relate to my story or the thirteen year old boy and/or have had similar experiences. The following video shows the news report/video clip.. (it may be disturbing)
