Ah, the plot thickens. According to USA Today, his wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant. The couple married in 2010, and they are not planning to divorce. Even though this really has nothing to with actual politics, it is one of the top headlines on the site. I suppose that this is merely an article to make him look even more like the scum of the earth that everyone knows he is. The press wants to reveal things that make a scandal more scandalous. It’s like adding fuel to the fire, and everyone knows what happens when you do that. Also, on the same source, I found an article that highlights the fact that a lot of Democrats are asking for Weiner to resign. Now, Weiner doesn’t want to resign. In fact, he is now stating that he will not resign. Then again, the whole world now knows how reliable his statements are. The Democrats that are calling for his resignation said that there is no point in him keeping his job because he has lost his credibility. However, the most surprising statement came from Rep. Joe Donnelly. He said, “Enough is enough. It's time for Congressman Weiner to resign. Everyone should be focused on jobs and the economy, and his refusal to do the right thing is a distraction”. FINALLY!!!! Someone has finally said what I have been thinking all along!!! This is a distraction from things that are more important. What about Libya Afghanistan
I do believe that now would be an adequate time to talk about the 2012 election. Now, I would be much happier to talk about this if this section of the new was not also plagued with the non-stop, ongoing story of Weiner. According to the NY Times, Weiner’s scandal does not reflect well on the Democratic Party, and this could possibly affect President Obama in the upcoming 2012 election. Really? I had no idea that a bad reflection upon a party can affect the candidates within it? I guess that’s why the Republicans didn’t do so well in the 2008 elections. I know that when writing anything, one has to assume that the audience knows nothing, but…really? Weiner needs to stop being the center off all political news topics. The media has really found a way to spin this story in every way.
Onto REAL news (because I want to stop talking about Weiner…but it’s the only thing that’s being reported on…I need to read about something different). Alright, here is a name that has surprisingly come up A LOT in the 2012 election news. According to POLITICO, New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, is being urged by many members of the GOP to consider running for the presidency. Now, considering that he is a first time governor that is not done with his term, he really does not have any intention of running. However, the people that are desperately trying to persuade the man to consider their offer see him as a man that could really take on the Democrats. I know that Governor Christie really is willing to stick to his guns and do what needs to be done (even though in his term as governor, he has managed to tick off the entirety of New Jersey). In NJ, Christie has been cutting a lot of funding, but he is now notoriously known for his cuts in education. This has made many educators become frightened for their jobs and students fearful that their precious activities will be eradicated. I don’t think that he would win New Jersey if he ran, but other conservative states would love him, especially the ones that contain people who are concerned about the national debt. New Jersey was a state that was seriously in debt, and Christie’s funding cuts (instead of tax hikes) let his true Republican colors shine. This has caught the attention of Republicans around the nation, and they want him to run. Will they get their wish? I don’t know…no one does. We shall see.
Once again I find myself becoming ever more drained and starved for energy. Now, folks, the only way to regain energy is for me to sleep, and I desperately need to sleep. So, I bid you good-night along with…KEEP TICKING, AND STAY INFORMED!!!!
SOURCES!!!!!!!!!!!(a few more should do the trick!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
