The questioning of President Obama's citizenship has been in the media. Even more recently with the ever famous Donald Trump. Originally his birth certificate did not state where he was born, but now with the long version, his birth certificate clearly states that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. I find it amusing that since a potential president can run for office as long as they are a citizen, then why would our government let someone who wasn't go out and run our country.
For two years this has been in the media and in order to show the chump, oh I mean Donald Trump and the rest of the world, he had to show proof. This is a prime example of innocent until proven guilty. Which in a way, I guess the Donald deserves a thumbs up for that. Now what the voters wanted to know, we can feel more confident as we walk into the polls during the next coming election. This shows me, more confidence in our government and President Obama.
One thing that is for sure, is when the president was questioned he replied the U.S. "has better stuff to do," including lowering the deficit and creating jobs, than continuing to debate the place of his birth. He further went on to say,"that some people just won't believe he was born in Hawaii, no matter what he says or does". Hopefully, with the release of the birth certificate, the president can continue to show America what he can do for this nation and put trust into the voters. He now can move forward in trying to focus on more important matters like creating jobs, bringing our troops home, and doing something about the price of oil.

Thumbs up or thumbs down for Donald Trump?

Originally his birth certificate did not state where he was born, but now with the long version, his birth certificate clearly states that he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. I find it amusing that since a potential president can only be able to run for office as long as they are a citizen, then why would our government let someone who wasn't.

Commentary of Classmate's Blog
In choosing to reply about a colleague's blog, I came across an article from Kandis Initiating Forward Movement. In her blog, she mentions an interesting article about a "Westside Rapist". The article mentions how a 74 year old, once insurance adjuster, pleaded guilty to rapping and killing elderly women in their own homes. As if that isn't horrible enough, it also proceeds to explain how the serial killer may have also killed as many as 30 other women, that of which he has not been held accountable for. Kandis makes clear and understandable judgments about how the serial killer should pay for his crimes. Since he has only been accounted for only 7 of the murders, police do believe that there is a possibility that he may be guilty of many more. What I do not understand is why not the other 30 victims as well. I like how she mentioned he doesn't deserve to survive off of our tax dollars. I think she is correct. She further goes on to exclaim, "that is way too many lives that have been jeopardized and taken by his hand." I find her to feel passionate that he should pay for the remaining victims he has not been charged with. How can this serial killer of all these elderly women get a slap on the wrist? When a crime is committed, victims and their families want to see justice performed to the fullest extent and not just a half way job. He showed no mercy on his victims while rapping and killing them, so why does our government need to show mercy on him.

An attack was made at a United Nations compound killing 20 employees and also setting fires to the buildings. An Afghan mob surrounded the compound and killed innocent people. Why was this done? A United States pastor Terry Jones, burned a Quran in Florida on March 20. He was strongly criticised, even urged to not burn the Quran, when he threatened to burn it on such a horrific and memorable day like 9/11. Although he still proceeded to burn the Quran, the attack at the compound may be considered one of the deadliest attacks.
The attack came only hours after protest of the Quran burning in Florida which was shown on the web all over the world. The very controversial pastor, from Gainesville, Florida, decided not to burn the Koran at that time since he received a phone call from Afghanistan commander US General David Petraeus. The general did warn pastor Terry Jones, that any harm done to the Quran would cause the lives of US men and women serving in the military.
Although pastor Terry Jones decided to go through the Quran burning on March 20, he served as a judge on the Muslim holy book. He found the Quran guilty of training and promoting terrorist acts, death, rape, torture of people, and crimes against people and minorities. Other attacks have been committed, however, none have reported any death or violence.
This attack may cause the UN to reconsider being in Afghanistan or not. Due to some attacks in Kabul, in 2009, the UN pulled 200 workers from Afghanistan to urban locations were they would be safe.
My concern is with pastor Terry Jones. What will happen this year on 9/11, when people across the world who are still in mourning over the lost of their loved ones, is now having to worry about the burning of a Quran. I may not study or worship the Quran, but for me, which ever religion a person is, that is completely fine for me. To every each their own. I know if I saw someone burning the Bible or even doing some sort of violence, then I too would feel offended. I know I wouldn't go as far as the Afghan mobs did, but I do know I would want the government to make some sort of verbal action or involvement.
Jerry Jones, seems to need some sort of eduction 101 in order to see how his personal beliefs are affecting Afghanistan and Americans. He may have his own beliefs, but they appear to be affecting everyone including possibly innocent people. I think he needs to go back to his church and perhaps read what his Bible tells him and then think twice again before reacting!
