What President Obama is reading on his Vacation

First off why is anyone concerning themselves with what the president is reading. The presidents affairs should not be something similar to Facebook. Journalist should report the important events that the president does and not report his daily events as one would with Facebook. The presidents personal affairs should be personal and not reported to such detail, whats next "what president Obama ate for breakfast." That would not be too shocking. The president is not a celebrity he is the leader of a country who helps govern how the country is ran. He makes important deals and discusses many essential things with other country leaders. I view this to be a major issue with this country. We treat important officials like celebrities instead of showing the proper respect for them. We treat them like they are our friends, which is the wrong thing to do. This particular event holds no major importance in the government besides the fact that the president is taking a vacation which is perfectly ok. The only issue that I see is that the news stations and websites are reporting useless information, when they should be reporting major events that happen in the world today. Events such as what major leaders in countries do what. The news story dicusses what the presisent reads during his vacation in Hawaii. He brought "A Constellation of Vital Phenomena," by Anthony Marra, "The Narrow Road to the Deep North," by Richard Flanagan, "Nora Webster," by Colm Toibin and "The Laughing Monsters," by Denis Johnson "Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth and Faith in the New China," by Evan Osnos and "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" by Dr. Atul Gawande

President Obama's Immigration Plans

President Obama has recently made an order to halt the deportation process for millions of illegal immigrants. His order also extends to create jobs for the parents of U.S. citizens and anyone that has lived within the U.S.'s borders for over 5 years. This betrays what the united states president stands for, he is suppose to follow the U.S. constitution but his branch of government is the only one that has failed this time and time again. In this particular case he has failed to follow the "Take Care Clause" which dictates in Article two section three "he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." The president is suppose to detain anyone that is performing illegal acts against the laws of the United States, illegal immigrants are part of that group. Not only are they called illegal immigrants but them living in the United States mean that they have crossed the border illegally and are living here without paying taxes. This is very illegal especially since they are thriving off of the people that live in America legally and are paying taxes. The president should not ignore this fact and he should especially not let these people have jobs that hared enough to get for regular citizens. He should focus on the people that are already in this country and not focus on ones that are here illegally this only creates less jobs for other people, increasing this countries unemployement level more.

Head O' Sate

Many interesting points were made in the film Head of State featuring famous comedian Chris Rock. The movie held many interesting scenes and an equally well made plot. This film was about a man named Mays Gillian and his path to becoming president of the United States. Mays is an African American whom is interested in politics. He lived in a rundown neighborhood outside of Washington D.C. and he was the man that everyone in town went to when they had a problem. While doing his everyday activities he overhear on the news that one of the political parties candidates plan collided with a plane in mid air killing both him and his running mate. That party then needed to pick a candidate fast since their candidate died. They noticed Mays Gillian and his act of bravery, of saving a lady and her cat from a building that was planned to be demolished, on the news and decided to have him be their candidate for president. He conducted many activities that were very irregular for politics and president candidates. When attending a fundraiser party Mays become bored with the atmosphere that surrounded him, he then decided to liven things up and become the DJ of the party,. All the people at the fundraiser then began to dance and have a good time. This is making fun of how fundraiser are stiff and how people need to relax and enjoy things more often than not. When Mays was given speeches for him to read whenever he visited each state they sounded the same until the very end where he would change it to suit the crowd before him. He said what the people wanted to hear not his views on the topic. Most politicians say what the people want to hear in order to become powerful and elected into higher positions. This is not how politics should be, the people in power should be honest with their views instead of lying about what they say. During the debate Mays was against his competitor. They depicted debates as actual arguments where people go back and forth in heated conversation. This is what a debate should be not something that is monitored and is restricted. Debates work a similar way arguments do and that is two people go back and forth until a solution a verdict has been made about said topic. Not something where they can only rebuttal what the other said a couple time and thats it. Mays campaign platform was one that was viewed as fun and entertaining while the competitors was more official and stiff. This makes fun of the strict ways the campaigns are and how uptight the candidates look. While Mays was campaigning he wore more laxed clothing and looked fun. In actual campaigns the candidates look as if they have never been to a club and enjoyed themselves.
