"Biden's Intelligence"



Biden's Intellegence is about a few comments made by Joe Biden in his debate with Paul Ryan. The author states "To a question about the Administration's willingness to stop the Tehran regime from going nuclear, he said what matters isn't Iran's ability to enrich uranium to weapons grade. It's whether it can build and deliver a bomb." Biden can really not be that dumb as to say that they have Uranium but so weapon...so what? Well, Biden my good sir, weapons are obviously not that hard to get by in many countries even in the U.S. Who’s to say they aren’t fueling up the tank before they start the engine? 

Biden also makes another comment about Obamas policy shift on Afghanistan he says, "We are leaving in 2014, period, and in the process we're going to be saving over the next 10 years another $800 billion." Then we go back to understand that Obama says we will still have at least 30,000 troops in Afghanistan to ensure that the Taliban don’t overrun Kabul again. So who are we supposed to believe? Either Obama is lying or Biden doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I am going to hope that Biden is the one that needs to get his story straight otherwise our country is in a lot more trouble than we think. “Don't worry, be happy may be a good campaign theme for Mr. Biden. Don't worry about a resurgent al Qaeda in North Africa. Or the escalating war in Syria. Or Iran's mullahs with weapons grade uranium, or Vladimir Putin's increasingly anti-American policy, or China's muscular antics in the Pacific.”
I think that this debate did not go very well for Biden and which makes Obama look…well let’s just say not so good. If they expect us to vote don’t come at the public with an unknowledgeable vice president, because it will worry us.

"Romney Deflates the President"



“Romney deflates the president” is an argument on Obamas weak debate in the first 2012 election debate. Columnist Peggy Noonan’s argument was that candidate Mitt Romney did a surprising swell job in his first debate against president Obama.  Noonan states “It wasn’t just Mitt Romney’s strong performance. It was President Obama’s amazingly weak one.” Noonan seems to be on Romney’s side as she says “We don't like the Obama economy! We don't like ObamaCare! We don't like not having jobs! Nothing personal, but this didn't work!” I would have to agree with the author. As I looked up what ObamaCare was, I was saddened to find out that President Obama is making it against the law to not have insurance. What does that say about what the president of our country has to think about the Declaration of Independence? Obama is giving us two options: be penalized by spending on a tax for not having insurance or spend money on insurance processed by the government. “We the people” are not in favor of what many laws the higher power decided so why do they call this a Democracy? Therefore the only thing we can do is decided against the candidate and HOPE that our next president will make better and wiser decisions for the country.
Peggy Noonan’s intended audience is 2012 voters (mostly Republicans.) As Noonan speaks about this very surprising debate she also states that “Mr. Romney gave the president some openings. The president didn't take them. Why? It crossed my mind he was playing possum. But possums wake up at some point.  Although Romney did well in the debate there is always a chance that President Obama will do better in the next. Both parties have potential in falling and taking our country down with them but it is the people that decided in whether our president brings us up or pulls us further down in the hole.
