Well fellow bloggers I’m finally getting to that point where I’m almost done with all my blog posts and after reflecting on all of the things I have written so far, I have to say that I am a little displeased with myself that I haven’t written more on previous presidents. Looking back at this [...]
When in doubt blame the previous administration

After looking back at all of my blog posts I find it kind of amusing that a lot of my blog posts seem to contradict one another. At one moment I seem to praise President Obama and his governing style, and the next moment I seem to rail against him for different situations that have [...]

When President Obama became president he promised that there would be more transparency in the White House and government, but the main question to be asked is whether or not the President has kept his promise on making sure our government is more transparent.

Last week we discussed the issues of whether or not we liked our political system. We discussed term limits, and the overall operation of how our government works.

After the elections, Republicans faced a huge dilemma within their own ranks. After facing defeats in both houses and losing the national presidential election, Republicans have found themselves in a position where they need to rethink their political strategy.
