Barrack Delano Obama

Obama tries to follow steps simialr to FDR's New Deal, to solve the economic crisis of today; but he should also learn from FDR's failures. As with most Presidents, both Obama and FDR asked for more power to help fix the Great Depression and the economic crisis.

Obama's stimulus package is said to help "create jobs and to get people working and to get the economy moving again." This is very similar to FDR's New Deal because it also helped create jobs using the WPA (Workers Progress Administration). But the New Deal was created as a long run project while 75% of the stimulus package's $825 billion will be spent in the first 18 months. Also, The New deal affected all aspects of our nation, while the Stimulus Package will create for our 7.2% unemployed Americans.

Even though FDR's new deal was a big step to help our nation, he was a very cautious man. Many time, he vetoed a bill until it suited his ideas. Obama, on the other, is a spontaneous man. only 2 days after he became President, he created this huge package that he thinks will fix our problems by giving us more debt so that we can get rid of all the debt.

Two Face Bush

The"Bush to Protect Three Areas In Pacific" article seems to be a contradictory article. In the past week, Bush opened three new marine safe havens totaling up to 195,280 sq. miles. He proposed this only two weeks before he leaves office. From what im seeing, he is trying to leave a legacy that we will remember about him. Many fisherman were concerned about the issue, Michael Nussman, president of the American Sportfishing Association says that it presumes recreational fishing is "an evil activity." 'If you're going to keep the public out of a public area, you need a darned good reason to do that."We don't think they've met that 'darned good reason' test." People thinks it's critical of what people (fisherman) are thinking about this.

The other article, "Bush's Seven Deadly Environmental Sins", talks about seven sins that he didn't accomplished that helped the environment. Then it gives a short summary about Obama's plans to fix and the environment better. This article was very one sided and it did not show bush's many accomplishments with the environment.

Both article was filled with evidence and quotes. They both have facts and opinions of each topic which gives a twist to the story. In my opinion I thought the second article was really interesting to read and it was informative that made it easy to understand about.
