2/24/09 interview

Q: How do you feel about the California State Budget cuts?
A: I feel like the rich people are getting richer and the poor people are getting poorer. I feel that the ones who are getting the most impact of the budget cuts are the students and the senior citizens.

Q: Do the budget cuts affect you? If so how do they?
A: Yes they do because I am graduating this semester and the cuts are lowering the amount of jobs available in the job market and this will make it hard for me to attain a job.

Q: Do you think the budget cuts will ever be fixed?
A: I think they eventually will but it is going to take time and also electing the right officials will help them get better.

I choose this cartoon because it shows how budget cuts are effecting the education of young children. It shows that even something as easy as animals can be mistaken because of the low quality of education the budget cuts leave the children.

2/19/09 Politics Summary

In the politics section i read "The Audacity of Hope" written by Barack Obama and it was mostly about why we should have picked Jonh Kerry to be president. Obama first starts by talking about his backgorund and then moves on to the present day and disscuses some issues that are going on. He tells us how Kerry realates to them and why he would be best suited to be president. Obama uses Kerry's background of him being in the Veitnam war to show how he has and can help the USA. Obama uses hope as something that we are all serching for and something that we need and also tells us that Kerry is the right person to bring this hope to us. Obama also tell us how we are supposed to work together in order to work better as a country and if Kerry was elected president.....

2/17/09 Obama Speech

The way that President Obama gets the people to believe in him and to follow him is by talking about the problems that are going on within the country and saying that event though they it might take time to fix them it will eventually happen. The way he gives us hope that this change will occur is when he goes back in time and says that sixty years ago his father was not able to even get served in a local restaurant and now he is standing in front of us taking a sacred oath. I believe that this really helps the people believe that he will make a change. I believe that also by referencing to the past and letting us know of all the hardships that this country has had to over come it makes us feel like change can and is going to happen.
