Republican Obstructionism Instead of finding better ways to run this country Republicans are blocking everything that the President wants to get passed.I understand their needs to be two parties but I think George Washington had it right when he said that it was going to lead us to trouble. "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty." — George Washington, September 19, 1796

Ted Cruz the Chicken Hawk Ted Cruz has been in the Senate for a month and he has already started taking on some of the greatest politicians, he voted against Senator John Kerry being the Secretary of State, even though he was overqualified for that position. He also is trying to paint Chuck Hagel as an Israel hater. Both Senator Kerry and Chuck Hagel have 5 purple hearts between them. I would rather have those two men leading in those positions than anybody else and for Ted Cruz to demean them like that doesn't deserve the position of Senator. Because those two men are true public servants and they have wounds to prove it.
Investment in Space Agency I think countries need more investment in there space agencies, because of what happened today in Russia. I know we can't keep track of every space rock but if had some sort of detection satellite that functioned like the Iron dome we could definitely avoid some of those at risk comets and asteroids.

Assault Weapons The second amendment right was written at a time when guns were a priority to defend the new nation from native Americans, and to make sure that other nations new what they were dealing with. The 2nd amendment right also protects us today by making sure our property isn't tampered because many Americans are armed. But we have to ask ourselves if we need assault weapons. Some of these guns could hold a lot of bullets in one magazine, which would mean if that gun were to fall in the wrong hands, many Americans are to pay the price.
Marco Rubio Cotton Mouth Marco Rubios rebuttal to President Obama was going good until his little cotton mouth moment. You should always make sure to be hydrated before you give a speech. Especially when you are giving the Republican rebuttal.
Marco Rubio Senator Rubio has a good chance of becoming the 2016 Republican Presidential candidate, but in order to become the candidate he has to learn that he can't blame everything on government. Especially if he is going to be the head of the government if he becomes President. It is always a double standard when the Republicans control the Presidency, only Republicans can expand government, but when it comes to Democrats expanding the government for the good of the country it is socialism. Here is a graph specifying that both democrats and republicans grew the government at the same time.

Great Speech President Obama gave one of the greatest speeches he has done in while. People questioned why he didn't speak much on immigration, but I feel that he didn't talk much about it because people already have an idea about the proposals. The economy is still a great issue, and we have to make sure those proposals are met first. Here is his video you will see his proposals for the economy are outstanding and innovative. But I do believe that his remarks on cyber security should be more specific.
State of the Union Obsession Tonight the President gives the State of the Union Speech. So you know the media is going to go nuts, they are going to grade the Presidents speech. They are going to get the democrats point of view and republicans, also analyse both parties emotions to the speech. But to me what matters is if his policies get accomplished.
Legal System not a Joke Recently Donald Trump decided to sue comedian Bill Maher for 5 million dollars because he was compared to an orange haired orangutan. Bill Maher was not amused, he wasn't mad about being sued, in fact he found it funny. He was mad at the fact that rich idiots use the legal system as a joke.

Over regulating Regulations are a must in this country, they protect our water, food, air, land, and many other things. I am for having regulations when they are needed. But we have to make sure we don't over regulate some things. We can't over regulate business and technology, because they bring innovation. To block any innovation because of a regulation would mean the lost of a good product or business idea.

State of The Union The President has a big speech coming up this Tuesday. He has so much on his plate, but I think the economy should be his number one priority. The country still needs to get out of a war and invest that money at home. Jobs are a big problem still, you never know if it is going to be stable. But if you have the training and the know how, it should last you a very long time.
