Troops out of Iraq in 2011
Its a done deal. the country's Council of Representatives had ratified a controversial security agreement that requires American troops to leave Iraq by the end of 2011. Shrugging off heated arguments about "national sovereignty," Iraq's lawmakers finally moved to redefine the country's relationship with the United States.
After months of negotiations and political theater, the two nations have an agreement that calls for U.S. troop withdrawal as well as establishes a framework for bilateral cooperation in the years ahead.

Obama 08
this year the people of the United States of america has made history. We needed a change and now we got it. Barack obama is now my president and yours. The key to obama and his sucessis that he has the same people that clinton had when he was in office. so good choices will be made.
obama will do a good job because he will focus on in house issues. Why focus so much on foreign countries when everything is not right in your own house. How can you help foreign people, when u got people in your country struggle just as well. that where we are falling apart. we pay millions to help other countries, when the people you share land with needs assistants as well. you got to worry about your house first. and that is where obama comes in, because he is more interested in us the US people the taxpayers of this country. Why give a man a fish when u teach a man how to fish.

Economy roundup
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20081212/GPG03/812120698/1247
This is also connected to the auto industry bailout. They say that jobless benefit claims are up. The unemployement rate is rising and because of Ford and GM closing factories, its only getting worse.

Credit Crunch Unmasks Madoff

This is a neat one. This Madoff guy is 70 years old and apparently an expert trader on wall street but he just got busted for billions of dollars because he was taking the money new investores gave him and using it to pay off old investers. He never really had a profit.

GM to cut 250,000 vehicles from 1Q production
http://www.newsweek.com/id/170090
So this one is a follow up of the previous bailout article. Since the bailout for GM and Ford didn't pass, GM has closed 21 of its factories and cut 250000 vehicles. My argument is that if forgin companies like honda and toyata can make cars better than American can and they can sell them for cheaper, then really its no big suprise to me that the American factories are shutting down. I heard on the radio the other day that like 96% of hondas are still on the road. That impressive. Every ford or cheavy my dad has ever owned has been a lemon.

I understand they want to keep GM and Ford out of bankruptcy, but using the 14million set aside to bail out the banks, to bail out car companies instead just doenst seem right. I think there are more important issuses than Ford.

ethics blogg
After responding to a blogg posted about Wal-Mart I recalled an article I read
recently regarding their involvement in Japan. They introduced the idea of the
store and promoted a peaceful, ethical company that believed in group
cohesiveness. Ironically, within weeks of aquiring rights of local "seiyu"
stores they fired 25% of the currently employed, consisting of over 1500
managers and associates. This has led to a decline in business because they
have pissed people off, for lack of a better word. Not only have they
misrepresented themselves when entering the market, they have also violated the
trust the former employees and consumers had placed in the company. Big business
has no loyalty to ethics apparently.
