I read Marit's blog about president Obama and the Durango,Colorado incident where the guy threatened to kill president Obama and to bomb Mall of America. The guy claimed everything to be pranks but i agree with Marit that this is not a prank and we live in a sad world. People cant accept people for who they are and threaten to kill people if things don't go their way that is both sad and upsetting. I think that prank or not the threats were wrong and should not have been sent that's terrible! Personally I don't agree with everything Obama wants to do but that doesn't mean threats are needed, but the fact of life is not everything will go my way so i will accept it and get over it, no big deal.

Forclosures, what will Obama do about them?
Summary:
President Obama is going to sign a $787 billion stimulus bill to help with preventing foreclosures. Obama is trying to get us out of the economic crisis and the only one worse than this was the gread depression in the 30's. Press Secratary Robert Gibbs believes that "things will get worse before they get better." The stimulus package Obama passed with out approval of the house and very few senators. There are alot of steps to this process but if everything goes as planned Obama will slowly bring the United States out of the economic crisis and we won't reach rock bottom.
My Opinion:
I think Obama is on the right track to improving the economy. His stimulus package will help lots of Americans. I don't think that four years will be enough time to recover fully but i guess we will see where things go with the next election. The full recovery will take several years and I do not believe that America will come fully out of debt but the start is great! We have a new president with new ideas. His ideas can improve the economy, our war status and like Liz mentioned in her blog he is working on improving our cybersecurtiy too. As a country we have come a long ways and hopefully Obama can help us improve our successes.

Forign Policy
Summary- Obama and Biden plan to change Foreign Policy. They want to start fresh with Russia, talk with Iran and fix the issues with NATO. Troops are leaving Iraq and now Obama wants a Israeli-Pakistani peace deal. NATO is expanding and the U.S. is trying to rebuild what of NATO it messed up by going to war in Iraq.
My Opinion- I think the U.S is doing the right thing by fixing what it messed up. The improvements should help the U.S greatly through the rough times of getting out of war, and the worsening economy. I think that we have to take all of this slowly one thing at a time thought or we will become weak and mess up causing some sort of issues. If we can do all of this successfully it would be great and one step closer to a peaceful world.
