Latinos are upset at Barack Obama

During Clinton's administration Bill Richardson was energy secretary and ambassador to the United Nations he has enough experience to be the Secretary of State, so what happen? Well we don't know and Latinos are upset that Hilary Clinton was offer the position over Bill Richardson after he favored Barack Obama over Clinton during the Democratic Primary. Grass-root immigrant rights activists disagree with the possibility of Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano to be nominated as head of the Department of Homeland Security. Latinos like the fact that Obama wants to make this cabinet a divers one but want more Latinos to be involve in higher positions. Latinos feel their leaders were nominated as a last resource because Obama was nominating white men , women, and African Americans before nominating any Latino until Bill Richardson. We start to see Latinos been place in higher positions for example last Wednesday Cecilia Munos was appointed as the director of Intergovernmental Affairs administration and Bill Richardson as commerce secretary. Latinos might be upset right now but soon will realize that this adminstration will help the United States recover and it won't matter how many latinos were involve what matter is that they help.

United States in Afghanistan

Robert Gates secretary of Defense wants to add U.S forces in Afghanistan. He believes that greater security will be need for next year elections in Afghanistan. United States have 31,000 troops in Afghanistan and are planning to add 3,500 Marines by the end of the year. By January they want to incorporate 5,000 Army Brigade in Afghanistan along with planes and helicopters.

The situation in Afghanistan is in its worst conditions since 2001 because twice as many Americans died in Afghanistan than in Iraq and U.S troops are five times bigger in Afghanistan than in Iraq. Today's meeting strategies were discussed and Gates wants more money spend and more troops sent to Afghanistan. This will add up and double the army in Afghanistan since 2003. Even though the U.S has this in mind other countries disagree and are refusing to help. The United States have asked the NATO allies and Japan but they refuse to send troops and fund this war. The reason why they refuse to help at this point is because they too suffer economically.

Obama pushes Congress

Barack Obama has declared that if congress does not do pass an economy plan then he will make it his first order as President. Obama states that, I urge them to pass at least a down payment on a rescue plan that will create jobs, relieve the squeeze on families and help get the economy growing again.” He has people working in Congress making sure that they are working on it. Obama states that fixing the economy will be his main priority as President. The Bush administration presented the plan of 700-billion-dollar rescue deal for Wall Street ,Obama wants that to help those who might be loosing their homes. He believes that we can create new jobs and strengthen the middle class by having such a bad economy.

He has already appointed Valerie Jarrett as Senior advisor and assistant for intergovernmental relations. He is considering appointing Hilary Clinton as Secretary of state. Obama's intensions are good especially for the lower class and that is something that the upper class is considering bad. They have no economic recession since they have all the money in the world, but we have to deal with having no money.

A woman stated that if Obama withdraws the troops too fast it could cause chaos in their country.
