I have to disagree.....

In Tijuana Whitlocks "Weak President Strong Government: What Would the Founding Father's Think?" How can an individual only blame one branch of government as the poster child of weakness in the government I do not understand that. "Our nation during the last few years under the Obama Administration has gone through a dramatic change.  Not a change for the better, quite the opposite a change for the worst.  This administration has become more like a dictatorship than a presidency." As we have learned in most government classes and history classes, since the Founding of our nation we have implemented 2 systems the first, being separation of powers and the second, being the system of checks and balances allowing each branch of government to maintain an equal amount of power over each other. 

 

First, Obama has sponsored over 137 different bills throughout his years of presidency, some which include the Military Family Job Protection Act, Homes for Heroes Act of 2007, and the Global Poverty Act of 2007.  Homes for Heroes Act of 2007, "Amends the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act to establish in the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) a Special Assistant for Veterans Affairs to: (1) ensure veteran access to HUD housing and homeless assistance programs; (2) coordinate all HUD programs and activities relating to veterans; and (3) serve as a HUD liaison with the Department of Veterans Affairs." Assuring better homes for low income and homeless veterans.

 

Secondly, you discuss how bad the government has become since Obamas administration has been in office, but that is a very bold statement especially with  republican party ruling a majority of  Congress with 242 republicans to 193 Democrats(today). Also, as we all know with Obama being a democrat the republicans are not going to be very ecstatic about any new bills sponsor or proposed by President Obama. Another thing I disagreed with was your statement, "Our nation's security is in question." My question to you is when has it ever not been in question?

In conclusion I believe you did good job stating your opinion and relating why you feel that way towards your beliefs but I wasn't very convinced because you only stated the topics and didn't really give facts behind them.
