Current Event Week 1 Post

This week,  I read in the Washington Post about Sarah Palin's new staff, although one can't quite call them "new".  The liberal newspaper took no time in negatively showing her. It seems her entire new staff are all Republicans who have somehow worked directly with George W. Bush, and a couple with John McCain. Although very experienced, many Republicans are wondering whether or not this is a good idea. Some say if McCain doesn't want to be called the "third Bush term," then they've made a horribly wrong decision that could cost them votes. Other believe that who would be better for the jobs than people who have already done it before and know the routine and are aware of all the issues. To me, I think that since many people see Sarah Palin as inexperienced, they will be worried that she do anything her advisors tell her which could bring our country down further. But, some experience is better than none at all, in which Obama is described in the article to have Democrats who have never been associated with the White House as his group of insiders. If we have a president with little experience, as well as his group of insiders, then we may be in for some trouble. This is keeping me thinking about who would make a better president and making it very difficult to decide. But honestly, Obama may score some points with this one because too many people hate and despise Bush to want his same employees back in the White House. Many people are against Palin because of news reports regarding her family  and herself negatively and this may add on to the list. We'll just have to wait and see...
