Osama Bin Laden Dead: What next?

Regarding the news this week that the most wanted man in the world is dead, everyone, especially members of the military and the White House, have to ask themselves, what's next for the America? What is next regarding our foreign policy agenda? How much longer are we going to stay in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda? There are so many questions every citizen of the United States is going to be asking themselves up until the 2012 election.

I'd personally love to see the United States leave Afghanistan right now or in the coming weeks and months, but we obviously need to think about the safety of the Afghani people. What would happen if the U.S. leaves Afghanistan? Not only would the Taliban retain power, but they would implement this same radically strict Islamic law towards their people. Al Qaeda but continue their influence without Osama Bin Laden and continue to plot terrorist attacks throughout the world.

After seeing videos released by the Pentagon this weekend, it is easy to conclude that Bin Laden was still a key member who was leading attacks throughout the world. He also seemed to have an obsession about his public image in foreign countries.

But in the end, the mass murderer of over three thousand men, women, and children on September 11, 2001 is finally gone. The United States should enjoy this moment as long as we can.

Egypt Protests

These are just some of the images of the 2011 Egyptian protests.  If you are uncertain, the protests started by outrage over inflation, high unemployment, and possible corruption inside of Hosni Mubarak's administration.

Christine O'Donnell: A Republican mistake

When Christine O'Donnell shocked the country in September by defeating Rep. Mike Castle in the primary election, the American people made a profound statement: that they were fed up with the government spending, the lack of jobs that were being created and so on.  What they were uncertain about was how she was going to perform in the general election with so much criticism from the liberal media and her Democrat opponent, Chris Coons, a.k.a the Bearded Marxist.

Christine O'Donnell

After running an unsuccessful campaign, O'Donnell is now under a federal investigation for misusing campaign funds.  This was first reported by the Associated Press on Tuesday.

O'Donnell has denied any wrongdoing.  The former Senator-elect has been reportedly used some of these funds for personal expenses and rent, while leaving her workers "unpaid and in a pile of debt," according to one GOP source.

Even though electing Christine O'Donnell to represent the Republican Party was a mistake,  Republicans still will maintain an overall majority in Congress when the 112th session begins on January 5th.

Obama's Weekly Address

If you have yet to see President Obama's weekly address, here is the linkhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/11/20/weekly-address-new-start-treaty-fundamental-security

The President's main focus is the new START treaty with Russia, and instead of primarily focusing on extending the Bush tax cuts for the middle class and Americans making over $250k a year, Obama is continuously bashing Republicans over not supporting his radical agenda.  It's like the mid-terms never even happened, and seems like the President's only option is to push this bill through the House and Senate during this lame duck session of Congress.

My advice as a political blogger is this:  Mr. President, before you worry about your reputation internationally, please remember that it was the American people that put you in office.

Political Update

So after the Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and decreased their minority in the Senate, Democrats such as soon to be former Speaker Nancy Pelosi just can't seem to get enough of the limelight.  It was reported this week that Pelosi will run for the minority spot as John Boehner (R. Ohio) will soon take the leadership position.  This announcement came as Democrats, according to President Barack Obama, took a "shellacking" last week.  States such as Illnois, Indiana, Alabama, and even Florida all turned Republicans as the average American is not only fed up with the job Washington is doing, but also showed a rejection of President Obama's policies.  The first objective of the new Republican congress, according to John Boehner, is to repeal ObamaCare.  This will indeed be a tough task since the U.S. Senate is still in Democratic majority and it will be unlikely Obama will agree to something like this.

The next post will be an update on the Bush tax cuts and a review of George W. Bush's new memoir "Decision Points."
