9/11 Conspiracies

Ever since the day after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, conspiracy theorists have been creating myths about what happened on the terrible morning. From the planes being government planes, to explosives being planted in the towers to help them fall, people have created these myths most likely for a couple of reasons. First, our government has not been the most truthful government in the past, from Nixon to Clinton, so maybe people thought this was another lie, except on a much greater scale. Maybe some people could not believe that something like this could happen in our country, so it had to be an inside job. But whatever the reasons are, I think it is horrible that people could think up these things. The amount of disrespect that it shows for the victims and the victims families is incredible. Yes, the Bush administration did not make the best choices after 9/11, but there is no real evidence to prove the theories. Now that 8 years have past, and all the theories have been debunked, the theorists should show some respect to the victims and stop these myths.

Obama Press Conference-Staying Cool

President Barack Obama held a news conference on Tuesday night in which he addressed questions from reports about topics ranging from the economy to stem cell research, and in his usual cool and calm way, he answered the questions with ease. When you compare how Bush and Obama answer questions, they both seem to think about what they are going to say before they say it, but Obama just sounds smarter when the words come out, and I think that is a big reason he got elected.
He continued to say that this economic struggle will not end quickly, that we have to work at it for awhile. I know that politicians always lie, but this is exactly the opposite of what he said while he was campaigning. He said that he will put in new financial regulations that will help this crisis end, but he has put in no such regulations. He said that in this speech in Dayton.
So, so far the Obama administration has been rather boring. Even though he has only been in office for 2 months, they really haven't done anything that big, except giving taxpayers money to companies that use it for bonuses. If Obama wants all those promises to come true, he should start working on it.
