Bush's Use Of Presidental Powers



This article in the L.A Times was very interesting and so sad that Bush takes advantage of his presidenatal power towards Iran or Iraq, but in a way there's many people suffering because of Bush powers towards the WAR. "U.S. officials and analysts are increasingly casting the Iraq conflict as a part and parcel of a broader regional battle against Iran — a "proxy war" between U.S.-backed forces" they were predicting how he was taking advantage of them. After that Iran's influence in Iraq was a major theme woven throughout the Senate testimony of Gen. David H. Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker. As well in the picture it seems so sad how people were suffering because of Bush powers. Then Lebanese Hezbollah of training, arming, financing and directing Shiite militias he called "special groups," who've been blamed for rocket attacks on the U.S.-protected. Thats very mean how they take advantage in Iran And Iraq. Indeed everybody in this world is been affected by Bush's presidental power because his taking steps that he shouldnt at all. As you can see in this picture in a way it was his fault the way the little building it's on fire. They're using that same partnership in Iraq, in my view, although the weights are reversed, with Iran having the greater weight and Syria the lesser. Then even Michael Ware, CNN's animated Baghdad bureau chief, said live on television during the hearings that "America's competition for influence with Iran" was the "main issue of this war." There's many people that dont agree with Bush's powers and they think his doing wrong decisions. They cited the very problems that Bush created by his decision to invade Iraq, an Al Qaeda presence and enhanced Iranian influence, as requiring an indefinite U.S. military effort. As well by fighting a proxy war against it in Iraq, where many of our key "allies are manipulated by Iranian" networks of influence, may be even worse. The best argument for keeping American troops in Iraq is that it increases our leverage against Iran; but "paradoxically", that's also a good argument for reducing "U.S. troops to a level that's politically and militarily sustainable".

Political Cartoons


In my opinion of this cartoon it's making fun of Hillary and McCain. The way they are making fun of them is the way that the guy with the baseball is striking out Hillary and McCain so Obama could run for president. It's standing out how the guy with the baseball it's throwing the ball to them all hard and a regular ball and with Obama is a beach ball and how the guy gets more closer. It's funny how this cartoon it's saying that they putting more work on McCain and Hillary and with Obama they are letting him win by giving him chances and even in the cartoon shows that they are letting throw the ball so easy. It stands out how people think that they are letting Obama win with easy wins or they are giving him chances so he could be the next president. They are discriminating in a way but they are more focusing how they think other are letting him with big wins as in this case are votes. But in my opinion they are making fun of Obama because in the cartoon they are holding his elbow and the other is pulling him and the third guy is throwing the ball without energy as well he got even closer to him. In my opinion they think that Obama is not a good president so they shouldn't let him run at all and so they could hold him back, but in a way Obama is not going to stand out so people could make him stop and give up in the election or making him lose with the votes. Indeed are basically striking out McCain And Hillary from the votes that's my opinion for this political cartoon. As well it's funny how the guy throws the ball through Hillary and McCain's body just destroys them that quick and pretty funny that they are letting Obama win in the ball throwing in the political cartoon.

Clinton Sounds Off Over Obama TV Ads

This article is very interesting about Hillary. Is talking about Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp complained Wednesday that Sen. Barack Obama was trying to buy the Pennsylvania Democratic primary with an extensive television advertising campaign. This is very interesting that they are fighting to get vote it and they could win the voting between Obama,Clinton or McCain. As well both camps were confronting new numbers suggesting that Obama was narrowing Clinton's lead in the April 22 primary to within a few percentage points. They are trying to do what they can so they could get their congress more bigger what they have already. This is a fight between two biggest people Obama and Clinton. Then Obama stated that "We're running uphill here," and that advantage with older voters who make up a big slice of the state's electorate. Given Clinton's advantage in Pennsylvania, early speculation was that Obama would not expend a lot of effort in the state and as well he could get the primaries on May in North Carolina and Indiana. Basically they are doing anything in their power to get what they want. Then Obama was back in Pennsylvania on Wednesday on the heels of a six-day bus tour around the state last week, also was pouring millions of dollars into the television advertising that prompted a furious, though low budget, response from the New York senator on the radio and it was very interesting seening Obama doing that. Then Obama did go for John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, arguing that the senator from Arizona would continue "Bush-Cheney-McCain" economic policies and as well "Obama is trying to distract voters from his own tax-and-spend economic policies by misrepresenting McCain's domestic agenda". Then Obama had collected $213,884 from people in the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29 and then according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton collected $306,813 from the same sources and he did alot of fight with McCain and Hillary.

Emerald City(Funding)

This article in the L.A Times it's very interesting to read and to teach other. The article is talking about funding in many things,places,stores and etc. IKEA's it's going to get rid of the last 8 percent, as of October 2008. IKEA will no longer offer disposable plastic bags at checkout. IKEA's is making money on it's reusable bags. Sure the money from disposable plastic bags goes to American forests, but IKEA keeps the money for it's 59 cent big blue on reusable shopping bags. Then especially since the anti plastic bags seem to hurt IKEA's business any. A new press release about another green move it's making everyday and hasn't yet made a move bag to bag. After that the motor board keeps on kicking as many people ride over the L.A river past the road work crew on Inglewood and the workers called its "That's the way to ride" across Sepulveda and other places. Then the candidates are just making money and taking away more funding then ever they have done back it those days. They think is the right thing but they are wrong in my opinion.
