My opinions are a little mixed. I prefer not to get into arguments about politics, because as everyone knows, no one thinks they are wrong. To be honest, we’re all wrong. That is because there is no right answer
I guess as far as Bush goes, he says things he doesn’t quite understand. Not that I blame him, I don’t understand it either. Bush’s speeches were powerful, but also off. I feel like he used false evidence do get done what he wanted done, and so do a lot of people, but that doesn’t make it right. There are people that say he invaded Iraq to finish what his father started, and I believe it. The problem is that may not have been the case. With a country split like that, it can cause a lot of problems for the president, problems I don’t think Bush could handle.
Obama is a magnificent speaker. Every time he talks, everyone listens and loves what he has to say. Obama’s speeches may be about negative things, but he always makes you walk away feeling inspired, and ready. He continues his slogan for “Hope” even in rough times, which is why I think people admire him, and his speeches.
When 9/11 hit, I don’t think any of us in this class were fully aware of what happened. I know that I was upset I couldn’t watch my favorite shows because the same footage was being shown for weeks. Now that I am older, I understand these things. I feel dumb for how I acted, but like I said I didn’t understand.
I think 9/11 will forever be known as on of America’s worst tragedies, but it will also be known as one of the days that everyone in this country came together, and there was no hate between us, we were all the same, and I think that was the best thing to come out of the disaster.
We talked about being on planes with other passengers that were Muslim. When I was little I used to fly every summer by myself to North Carolina to go to the beach and see my uncle. It was a little scary knowing about what happened with 9/11, but to be honest, I felt better knowing that we have such sophisticated security now, that I wasn’t entirely worried.
As far as the mosques go, I don’t really have a problem with them building one in New York. I don’t understand the problem. There is no reason why they shouldn’t be allowed to put one there, its not on ground zero, and its not like were putting an Afghan Embassy there, it’s a community center. I feel like if we have freedoms, and they live here, they have freedoms, end of story.
