November 24th, 2008 by petrosbp4

Bill is about Armenian Turkish border problem

the name of the bill-Text of H. R. 6079: End the Turkish blockade of Armenia act
-it came from the House of Representatives
it was the committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on House Administration.
the bill is soppose to end the closed borders of turkey and armenia. it was proposed may  2008 it is suppose to open the borders for trade and a entrance to Asia
i think it should pass because armenia has no economy because of the blockade and the turks are blockaing and not the armenians and i think is from hatred from turkey and should be opened. also they ar the only country blocking a european union member which i think is wrong and it should pass

President’s Powers

November 20th, 2008 by petrosbp4

1 Appoints Federal judges, with the agreement of the majority of the Senate

this is important because we need to get a good and not crooked judge and the President

2 aproves laws passed by Congress

this is important because we need approval by all people and i think that the president like Obama knows what the normal people have been through and knows what is good for the people

3 Serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. He can authorize the use of troops overseas without declaring war. To declare war officially, though, he must get the approval of the Congress

this importan because it means that the president can only tell the army to go blow things up by congress’ aproval

4 Receives ambassadors of other nations, thereby recognizing those lands as official countries

this means the president can meet the ambassadors and is important becuase he makes alliances and agreements with foreign people which is important to the two people of the countries.

Results and Reaction

the reseults were that Obama won and McCain lost. you could have seen this even from the begining because Obama had a popular vote of 52% and McCain had a popular vote of 49%.

even the votes from the electoral college were for Obama. Obama got 336 votes and McCain got 186 so there Obama won.

my reaction was yes McCain lost and Obama won. Now i think the country will get out of our economic crisis and everything will be good.

The Election

Obama won finally. one that day i was watching the news and this guy said that he won’t win and he won. when tat guy found out he was crying. 

Even McCain looked like he was about to cry.

the wierd thing that i think is that at school Obama got like 300 something votes and Obama got more than 300 votes too.

Barrack Obama: Obama says he pledges to lead a global effort to secure all nuclear weapons and nuclear material.” from Lauren’s blog

The Polls

October 23rd, 2008 by petrosbp4

I think the people have there brains working and its good that Obama is ahead because he can help the people and that is why i think he is ahead. McCain is tring to make money for the rich and is not tring to get the country out of the economic struggle for the middle working class but so that his budget can be high.

Issues

October 23rd, 2008 by petrosbp4

One big issue is international relations and it is a big thing because i matter who America should be friends with. A event that took place recently in south Ossetia is a good example on what the candidates think about America’s relations with Georgia. Both Obama and McCain say we should assist Georgia against the Russians. They both are also tring to make Georgia a Democratic state which is important.

The Debate

October 23rd, 2008 by petrosbp4

My reaction towards the debate is that Obama pruposed good and helpful things for families and can create new jobs which i think is good. McCain i think is more obsesed with the economy and not the people. When i say economy i don’t mean he is going to save us and give the middle class more money. McCain wants to raise taxes and Obama wants to lower then. They disagree on many things but Obama is right.
