Comment on Classmates Blog

Yes, Times are changing. That’s what Sergio posted on his latest blog and he writes about how times are changing. He did a very fine job reasoning his work. He knows what he is writing about. He put in the effort and it shows in his writing. Sergio writes about President Obama, and how he promised change. “The first month had the president ordering the closing of the Guantanamo Bay prison…the Obama administration has been accomplishing a lot in its first year”. He writes about President Obama and how much he accomplished thus far. He throws out there of what Obama did and how he kept his promise about “change”. He compares Obama to McCain and Sarah Palin and how we would never be where we are today if they had won. He knows that Obama did in fact do so much for America, but there is a lot more to be done. To further his writing, he gives some examples of what Obama has accomplished and what he still has left to be done. He stayed on topic and it was easy to follow, he does not upset his audience—at least not the Obama supporters. He writes what he believes in detail and has the facts to prove them. Nicely done, Sergio. And yes, Times are changing!

Are We Done Yet?

The war with Afghanistan I can say now that it is pretty huge now. Majority of the citizens at first wanted in to the war, after a couple of years, I feel like it is getting too much. We are involved in a war that that is very expensive. We should be focusing on better things, like bringing the troops back home. There are too many families that would love to see their loved ones come back to the states. If our enemies are not backing down and we don’t back down, then how long are we going to go through this? Do we have to raise our taxes, make new planes and create new stimulus packages? We would have to do everything and anything to keep us involved in the war, we have to work harder, raise money for the troops.
We should work and negotiate together and try to put a stop to the war. I think if we don’t do this soon enough we might get into deep trouble later. We should think about the future and how this war were involved with is affecting our lives. Instead of putting time and money into the war, we should be focusing more on other things like global warming and things that matter. The war is hurting a lot of people. It seems like both of the parties are not giving up, and if it goes on we going to lose more money and innocent people. So we need to do something about it, we have to come up with a plan to stop the war.
