The week in review is our way of catching you up on whatever you may have missed in the politics blog during the week. Lots was happening this week as I’m sure will continue to be the case until the general election in November.
Monday July 7 The Week in Politics News
The previous week, I had been camping with my family on vacation and so we revamped the major news stories from the previous week.
Tuesday July 8 Why You Should Vote
Some people say it’s a lost cause, others are wondering if this is really the best we have to offer: two inexperienced senators. I am of the opinion that it is our right and responsibility to vote–simply because we can. People have died and are literally dying for this right–we shouldn’t take it for granted.
Thursday, July 10 The Iranian Missile Crisis
With Iran firing test missiles Wednesday, the political and world news sections were full of fodder on Thursday. This blog breaks down the issue in simplest form and discusses how each presumptive nominee responded as well.
Friday, July 11 Gramm, the Economy and the Sensible Response
One of McCain’s advisors and a frequent surrogate on his campaign trail, Phil Gaff, got himself and McCain’s campaign into a heap of hot water when he said that we’re all imagining the recession in our heads–essentially–and that we are a nation of whiners.
Saturday, July 12 McCain Talks on the Economy
Which candidate do you think has the more comprehensive plan on the economy? If you’re not sure how to answer that, you can start by reading this blog. McCain has been criticized before as not being strong enough on economic issues but he was certainly very quick to distance himself from Gaff’s gufaw.
You can look forward this week to Obama’s response to Gaff’s comments as well as any other breaking news related to politics!
