This cartoon was drawn by Jeff Parker. It was published by Daryl Cagle's Political Cartoonists Index. The title of the cartoon is Handicapping Healthcare and it was posted on 11/21/09. This cartoon deals with the Obama's Healthcare program because its such an important issue right now. The cartoon's message is that Obama's health care program is hurting the country instead of helping it because he's getting rid of the public option. I disagree with the cartoon's message because I believe that it is of the utmost importance that everyone receives health care which is what Obama's health care program is all about.

The new principal for Herndon
I believe that our new principal needs to be understanding, nice and he/she should have a good personality to boot. Mr.Cooper has been a good temporary principal so far because he has been trying to get to know the students and staff members unlike Mr.Martinez last year. So we need a principal who possesses the same qualities as Mr.Cooper. The kinder and more helpful the next principal is, the better it will be for the future students who will have to attend Herndon.

Current Event 6: GU rally decries anti-gay violence
Background Info: This article was about Georgetown students rallying against hate crimes on a girl who was attacked based off of her sexual orientation. These hate crimes have occurred in the past before.
Summary: These hate crimes have been investigated by the police. Georgetown students are rallying because of the instances in the past and the fact that everyone deserves the same amount of freedom regardless of their sexual preferences.
Analysis: The police need to do more in order to prevent these hate crimes from reoccurring. These hate crimes need to stop once and for all. The police have been investing a few of the instances that have happened in the past.
Comment: People who are against homosexuals are ignorant about the world. These people should learn to ignore this issue altogether instead of insulting homosexuals and they need to stop the hate crimes against homosexuals . It should not matter what someone's sexual preference is and if homosexuals want to marry who are we to judge them and prevent their happiness. I don't think it matters I could care less about someone's sexual preferences.

Personal Response
I believe one of the biggest issues today are the economy and the debt we are in today. The economy is so bad today that people are losing jobs and our debt is as bad as it was during the Great Depression. We need to do all that we can to fix it before it gets any worse. We are in billions of dollars of debt and it gets worse every second. President Obama is trying to fix our debt but it will be worse by the time he finishes his term.
