The evolution of the nation's 'first gay president' - 4 views

  •  
    I think people deserve to marry who they want to marry.
  • ...3 more comments...
  •  
    I agree with Emmali... for instance I want to marry Jessica Alba. We deserve to have our love recognized, but my wife won't let us get married.
  •  
    I think she means if two people love each other they should be able to get married whether they are the same sex or not.
  •  
    In all seriousness to the issue, the title refers to a Newsweek Headline of Obama being the "First Gay President" because he has thrown his support behind the same sex marriage movement. We will see how far his leadership on this issue goes. Later this month the US Supreme Court will decide a case of whether states can keep same sex couples from marrying http://www.oyez.org/cases/2010-2019/2012/2012_12_144
  •  
    I think the title of the article is misleading, but I do agree with Emmali and Mr. Pregon. The people deserve to live how they want.
  •  
    I think that this topic is a hard one to talk about. In my opinion people do not choose who they love, love just happens. I guess that in some cases love just finds what most government officials along with a large percentage of the world would define as the "wrong" person. People deserve to be who they are and love who they want.

Obama's Budget - 0 views

  •  
    I guess I just don't understand how Obama is going to lower our deficit by spending more money. He makes all of these promises but Im not sure if he can really be true to them. I'm kind of thinking that these changes make hurt us initially before helping in the long run.

Obama to nominate Hagel, Brennan for top national security posts - 0 views

  •  
    It's interesting to read about the controversy over Obama's pick defense secretary and counterterrorism adviser.
  •  
    I think it's fair to say that the criticisms made against Hagel are in the past now. He should be fit for the job. From a defense standpoint there will be a lot of issues at hand in this administration.
  •  
    I think Brennan is a wise choice because he's been around for awhile and seems to have a lot of knowledge about a lot of things.

Obama administration defends $222,000 file-sharing verdict | Ars Technica - 0 views

  •  
    "The Supreme Court accepts only a fraction of the appeals submitted to it, and in May it declined to review the case of Joel Tenenbaum, who like Thomas-Rasset is still fighting the recording industry in court."

    i did the math so over the company lost over 9000 customers if the song cost was 24$
  •  
    When we use something from the school like a uniform or a book and it isn't returned we are fined the price of the item. I lose my basketball uniform, I pay $40. How come when this women takes something that is worth 24$ she must pay 10,000x what it is worth to the owner?

6 outrageous things Philippines president has said - 32 views

  •  
    "Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is known for his outspoken comments and controversial governing style."
  • ...12 more comments...
  •  
    This is not a very professional thing to say especially about the president
  •  
    This "leader" is insane, he's making threats to our people and taking simple manners of politics to a new level of crazy. For example on the controversy about illegal logging he said "cut the trees and I cut your heads." Like who says this publicly about another country. This was just one of many things this man has proclaimed about Obama.
  •  
    I think that the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is sort of exaggerating his points to look tougher than he is, especially when he backs away from his statement about the president.
  •  
    What was said by President Rodrigo Duterte was very unprofessional. It calls his ability to maintain the Philippines into question. He says very inappropriate things, and does things that shouldn't and/or aren't legal.
  •  
    Honestly he shouldn't even be president if this is the crap he's going to pull! Rape and drug cartels are illegal and it won't get stopped cause when you are involved in that you make bank. A lot of his comments remind me of Trump all the sexual remarks especially.. Makes me sick.
  •  
    He shouldn't have talked about the president like that especially in an interview. It looked very unprofessional for someone big like him to say that.
  •  
    This guy should not be president. He is immature and childish. All his comments on important topics are crazy and not professional.
  •  
    I think that the comments of the President Rodrigo Duterte are very inappropriate, because he's a leader and he should be an example for the other people, but he is acting like a baby, insulting people without any sense.
  •  
    Obviously this guy is a crazy cannibal and should not be in a leader position if he can't be an adult and level headed about things. He seems to get angry very quickly and that's not a good characteristic of a good leader.
  •  
    The comments by the President are outrageous. A government official should not be saying that to news media knowing that this will get out. He acts like a little baby. He is asking to get shwacked.
  •  
    Just like Trump he uses his words to try and gain power but instead Duterte used choice words that insulted the president and because the cancellation of their meeting the president of the Philippines had somethings to say that he would have done and he put his words into scenarios that made him disrespectful and should not be a president if he acts like that.
  •  
    this dude is a savage. He is a crazy little guy and i would be scared to visit or live in the philippines
  •  
    It was a very unprofessional thing to say, especially about a fellow leader. Even if you disagree with someone that was taken out of hand.
  •  
    That Philippines President Duterte needs to loosen up, he has bad thoughts about everyone, and says them out loud, whether they're a common citizen or a leader, and he's proving himself to be dangerous to others. He said, "You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I'd kill you." He also raped a woman of her dignity after she was dead saying, "What a pity...they raped her, they all lined up. I was mad she was raped, but she was so beautiful. I thought, the mayor should have been first." He called both President Obama and the Pope something inappropriate.

Obama: Trump's warning on elections is 'ridiculous' - 3 views

    But for all his talk of terrorism, Russia and other geopolitical challenges, the underlying argument he wanted to make was clear: it's a serious business being commander-in-chief and the Republican who wants his job isn't fit for the Oval Office.

Fully repealing Obamacare will cost $350 billion - 3 views

shared by Josh C. on 04 Jan 17 - No Cached
  •  
    A full repeal of Obamacare would cost $350 billion over the next decade, according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. This makes its wholesale dismantling much more complicated. Obamacare was carefully crafted in 2010 so that it didn't add to the federal deficit -- in fact, it boosted revenues slightly.
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    Of course this would cost so much because the money is in people's hands and getting it back, well that is hard. And with trumps new ideas this will cause some commotion with people. And with this it would cause an even bigger problem because he may be forgetting that we are still in debt.
  •  
    Would it cause more problems if we did repeal Obamacare instead of not repealing it?
  •  
    I personally don't think that it's worth all the loss of money, I think it's good to provide healthcare to those that can't afford to pay for it, and our country that's a large majority of our people. Although we should also look at whether or not it's costing more to keep it or to repeal it.
  •  
    This seems like a good example of how Obamacare is viewed as a lot worse that it really is, how it supposedly is, "A waste of money," and, "Costing us more that it's worth." But there was actually some economic and political genius that went into forming the system, and it would be a poor decision to repeal it.
  •  
    If we were to repeal Obama Care, it would hurt the country indefinitely, because of all the people who are on it, and the sheer cost of money would ruin the country, were already trillions of dollars in debt, so another $350 billion would not be doing any good. Now taking small actions to take some of it away would be a more suitable approach.
  •  
    The problem with Obamacare is that it really hurts the hospitals, they have to manage money differently, meaning they have to cut peoples jobs and different programs because they can't afford to have it anymore. Which in the end will hurt the patients more because how are they supposed to get help if theirs not enough people working there to help them. I don't believe that cutting the whole thing is right, however i think that that Obamacare does need to have some changes.
  •  
    If we took away Obama care it would hurt lots of people because they aren't going to have the help they need.
  •  
    i think repealing it would be a terrible mistake because you just cant cut 20 million people out of insurnce.

Obama's tough dilemma on Manning, Wikileaks - CNNPolitics.com - 3 views

  •  
    "The move came with the hours fast running down on Obama's presidency and rocked the political, intelligence and military intelligence establishments in Washington. And it will now rest forever on the 44th President's legacy as one of the most controversial moments of his tenure, judging by the furious bipartisan reaction to his decision to free someone regarded by many in Washington as as a traitor.
