Will Obama pass the midterm...?

Since Obama has been elected the 44th President of the United States he has definitely taken some negative feedback from the media.
The new backlash that the media is talking about is…”Will he pass the midterm…?”
Well to some of you that don’t know, the elected President each year is always graded to see how much they have done for our country and if there has been any change for the better or worse.
The media is asking questions like…”How long will voters give President Obama to turn the economy around?” The fact is that Obama inherited all of the issues that we are dealing with our economy and it is going to take some time to fix things.
According to the media Obama has to fix the economy or he will be a one-term president. I think that is a little unfair because there are so many other issues that he wants to change and that I know he will change but right now the economy is pretty much the #1 priority.
One of the other main issues is universal healthcare, and Obama is trying to fix things but it will take time.
The media is saying that he can’t improve healthcare because of the economy and he can’t fix the economy because of issues with healthcare. So basically they aren’t even giving him a chance to improve anything.

Media drools over Stewart's comments about Obama...

Democrats have longed for a president like Obama. We have waited for someone to come in and take charge and make a change for the better.

Well, recently some feel as if certain democrats are turning their back on President Obama.

Recently, the Obama administration unveiled a plan to start moving veterans that have private insurance out of the VA system and have them treated privately, with their own coverage.

Since the administration announced this proposal they have backed down, but many people were not happy.

The administration stated that it would have dramatically altered the way the department of veterans affairs handles insurance claims.

Well, that is fine with me.

But, the issue is that some are saying that democrats have been turning on Obama.

For example: Jon Stewart, after his late night show a few days ago there has been quite an uproar of blogs and articles describing Stewarts’ bantering.

The fact is that Stewart is known for his “say it how it is” approach. If he doesn’t agree with something he will say it.

The fact that republications are thriving on the thought of a democrat changing their mind about Obama…

is ridiculous…

Jon Stewart, will always believe in Obama. He may not agree with everything Obama says, but he still supports him.

The media just loves the negativity of it all…

Is the Media thriving on Madoff scandal...?

Before Bernard (Bernie) Madoff pulled off the largest scam in America I had never heard the term and certainly never used it.
Driving home from school today I heard it at least seven times.
There have been many Blogs out there and articles stating that the Madoff scheme is pulling in a tremendous amount of media play. The fact is that people need and want to know when they are getting ripped off.
J. Max Robbins, Vice President and Executive Director of Industry Programs, states that there are two book deals on the way about Madoff and his world wide scheme.
I don’t really see a problem in someone writing a book about the situation but, I do agree with Robbins that this is an example of another scheme.
There are so many money hungry people out there that they will thrive on others losses…just to make a quick buck!
The media is focusing on stories that deal with corruption.
Some feel as if maybe the media is focusing on the “bad” guys on purpose.
I don’t know…I think if someone screws over innocent people the way that Madoff did …he deserves what is coming to him!

Is the media making the economy worse...?

It is a known fact that we are having tough times with the economy. With people losing their jobs, pension plans, and decreasing stock value we have a right to be scared.

Well, some are saying that the media is causing more problems by broadcasting stories of hard times, that the Medias consistent negative portrayal on our situation is causing even more damage to the economy.

I don’t really know if we should be blaming the media itself, but that is why people are acting the way they are. It is human nature to try to stay safe when we feel as if we are in danger. It is proven that when times are tough people save instead of spend.

Is this really hurting us more?

Consumer reports have said that the media outlets should be highlighting solutions and context and positive stories.

I don’t know if that is the solution. Why would we want to sugar coat everything? I feel as if we should always know what kind of situation our economy is in.

Why would you ever want to live your life with a candy coated reality of how the world really is?
