Presidential Endorsements

Read and analyze these two presidential endorsements. Which one is more believable? Why? Do they both present a good argument, or is one more convincing? Explain why.

In the first editorial the writer, really supports and believes in Obama. He believes that he would be a good president to our country and surve us good. "After nearly two years of a grueling and ugly campaign, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois has proved that he is the right choice to be the 44th president of the United States. Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change."

I found the first one more believable because the second one was very opinion based.
The firsts arcile gave good quotes and made me feel like i could trust the person.

"The Electoral College"

Explain the Electoral College, then explain its strengths and weaknesses. Then give your opinion: Should we still have it?

Electoral College assigns a certain number of electoral votes for each state. Electoral College can change a persons chance in election completely. It only has a drastic change when the popular votes are close, therefore the people might vote for one person and that person is in the lead. But in the end the other canidate will win because of Electoral College. We live in a democracy people have the right to vote we make the decision. So if a canidate wins by popular votes he should be the president of the US.

"Mayor Bloomberg and Term Limits"

Mayor Bloomberg said he will run for a third term as mayor of NYC if the term limit law is changed. Write a blog explaining your opinion on this issue. Should he be able to be mayor for possibly 12 years?

Personally I don't believe that Mayor Bloomberg should run for 12 years. Just because he has been a good Mayor for the time that he has ran doesn't mean we should change the law so it can revolve around him.
The same thing might happen like it did last time when that Mayor ran for 11 years and we had such a big finacial crisis.
So why should we change the law for one person. I do admit he has done a great job so far, but its to much of a risk if we get a bad Mayor and cant get him out of office.
Its time for another Mayor, and Mayor Bloomberg should move on.
