Massachusetts Voters Head to Polls With Full Force of D.C. Machine Behind Them

With the Mass. race neck in neck, what will happen? Both candidates (Brown- R, Coakley- D) have been campaigning fiercely for the open Senator seat. Coakley has had Obama and Clinton endorse her while Brown has had McCain, Red Sox baseball stars and other republicans support him. Brown has gained some very important Democratic votes because people of the area do not agree with health care. Brown is trying to appeal to all voters while Coakley is trying to get the woman's vote. Both candidates are trying hard but the polls are closing by the end of today, who knows what will happen.
I think Mass. is a prediction of how America feels. The people are not happy with congress with a democratic majority. People are getting tired of spending money and having so much government control and they are right! After this race I guess we will see what happens.

Obama Promises 'Unwavering Support' to Haiti After Earthquake

After the deadly eartquake in Hati, president Obama promised relief in the form of water, search and rescue, food and medicine. The earthquake came as a shock to the wohle world when it devistated directky 3,000,000 people. The Penatgon, Department of Homeland Security and the military are all taking lead in this situation. Obama is encoraging people to donate to the Red Cross and other organizations that will be helping with this. Search and Rescue teams are departing from all over the United States to assist with civilians ttrapped in the rubbel. The number of lives lost cant be calculated right now do to the surpise and disaster of this crisis. Everything at the the presidents disposal is being used.

I think Obama is doing the right thing and doing all he can is a bad situation.

Congress Urges Obama To Do More To Stop Terror

Since the Chirstmas Day attempted attack by a Yemen terriost, some congress members have been urging Obama to do more to keep track of suspected terriosts. Other congress members have also urged Obama to loosen up some security so suspects are more likely to be terriosts.
The Obama Administration has taken steps to tighten security such as halting prisoner shipments to Yamen and tighter airport screening. "It's about time," r Eric Cantor told the media. Ranking Republican Susan Collins of the Senate committee of Homeland Security would like to see all visas suspended of people in the Terror Data Base. This wont likely happen because there is over 500,00 names in this data base.
The CIA is stepping up and says they will be more efficent in the distribution of their information to other government.

I this this christmas day attack was a good wake up call to Homeland Security. Thankfully no one was hurt and we can learn from our mistake. Airport security has to be stepped up even more becasuse millions of innocent lives are at stake. I believe Obama is doing a good job with handling this and i hope he will take more steps to improve a problem like this.
