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.

I agree with most of your evidence you used in your blog. I think he does have a good reason though to make the marine safe havens. You could have used more quotes or evidence to support that statement.
