For my current event I found an article "Bill Clinton:'Vast right-wing conspiracy'as 'virulent' as ever". Throughout the article Bill Clinton is quoted about different subjects, including President Obama. It discusses the risk of republicans taking control of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the coming 2010 midterm,similiar to in Clinton's term. Bill Clinton gives his view that the problem of universal health care needs to discussed and a solution found.

This article gave me a look at a few things President Obama pushes for. I also learned something that didn't work out in the past for our government, the Republicans having total control. Something i didnt like about the article would be that it did a little too much quoting and not enough actual information about discussing the similarties of Obama and Clinton as presidents. I think the title was a lead on but really the article was just quotes on what Clinton thinks about Obama.

What political party are you most closely aligned with?

I think I would be most closely aligned with the green party. Although I don't know much about political parties and what really goes into them. I think I identify myself with the green party because it isn't one of the two main politcal parties and it cares about the environment. I didn't do extense reseach into the party but some key things I related to caring about in any way were the views on non-violence, respect for diversity, and the call for global awareness. The green party views that the people should be directly involved in the decision-making process of law. I think that citizens should be able to be directly involved in the government.
