AP US Gov Current Events
Final blog assignment: Please find a current events article of interest to you (2010) that relates to one or more gov concepts that we have studied this semester. Once you have found an article from a reputable news source, publish a new post (click on pencil sign and then new post) that gives a brief introduction to and thoughtful prompt or question related to the issue, and then link the article for your colleagues to read and respond to. Then later in the week read another student's new post and linked article and provide a thoughtful comment to their prompt or question.

BP spill forces choice between ecology and economy: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill_coast;_ylt=ApYSiQiil0LOLLMRLj530f6s0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTNuc3U4bzViBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwNjAzL3VzX2d1bGZfb2lsX3NwaWxsX2NvYXN0BGNjb2RlA21vc3Rwb3B1bGFyBGNwb3MDMQRwb3MDMgRwdANob21lX2Nva2UEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yeQRzbGsDYnBzcGlsbGZvcmNl
Respond to one of the two:
1)DO you think that the BP oil spill is President Obama's hurricane katrina? Did he respond fast enough to this unexpected crisis?
2) What do you think should come first: the environment (marshes) or the economy (tourist season)?
Obama to appoint a new director of national intelligence. He has selected Lt. Gen. James R. Clapper Jr. to fill the post left by Adm. Dennis C. Blair.

Respond to one of the two:
1) Clapper's appointment is quite controversial because of his military position. Many people believe someone outside the military should be appointed. What do you think?
2) According to the article, President Obama forced Mr. Blair to resign from his post as director of national intelligence. How do you think he did that?
