Obama Makes Peace in the Middle East

Recently, national security adviser Gen James Jones held a meeting at the White House where President Barack Obama made an unannounced appearance and made an impromptu speech on the war in the Middle East. As he listened attentively to all the issues brought forth, the real question of the evening remained, “was it time for the president of America to step in and outline his own peace treaty for the Middle East? It is believed that neither side is ready to come to an agreement on their own, so is it now our responsibility to get it moving? I’ve always had somewhat of an opinion to everything, but this is not as straight forward. On the one hand, the US would be responsible for ending a brutal battle between the Palestinians and Israelis. While some are worried that neither party will accept a deal, others are simply suggesting it is a situation that cannot possibly be dealt with right now. Does our nation actually have issues that are bigger and more important than making peace? Is the Middle East really in need of our assistance? What can we do to help another nation make peace? The 1978 Camp David agreements have some proof that America’s interference in a peace agreement would not be a complete bust. However, with America’s more recent unsuccessful involvement with Iraq may suggest otherwise. Should America help others at war make peace when we ourselves are battling a war with Iraq While one side tends to lean towards helping others find peace, the other would rather see Obama focus his efforts on getting our nation out of debt. President Obama has some rather large decisions to be made in the future.

Pass or Fail? How to Grade an Incomplete Assignment

How do you fairly grade an assignment that hasn't completely been finished? A colleague of mine recently attempted to grade Obama's work as president. Every article, every news station, and even Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's the Daily Show have something to say about what Obama is doing in Washington. Obama's recent project: the health care reform. Some people see it as the only thing he's been able to accomplish as president, even though he is currently working on several different major projects at once. Guantanamo Bay, the peace treaties with Russia and Israel, the war in Iraq, and the economic stimulus are only some of the changes Obama has been working on in the past year and a half. So how do you grade a project that hasn't yet reached the deadline? I can't personally say that I think Obama is doing a great job or a horrible job as president. The author of the recently written blog themselves agree that it is hard to say what will come over the next two and a half years. Obama does have some hard critics that are just waiting to see him fail, and I can see how some would be quick to fail him, the decline in the economy being the number one reason. My personal opinion, don't be too quick to deliver a grade to an assigment that hasn't been turned in yet.
