“But neither document contains language pertaining to a potential ban on recreational fishing, as some reports had previously asserted.
Fishing enthusiasts became alarmed when a story posted on ESPNOutdoors.com and widely circulated by bloggers alluded to the potential of a ban on recreational fishing. The Web site has since posted a clarification stating that columnist Robert Montgomery’s opinion piece was improperly labeled.” Fox News
(I wanted to make sure I use a source that could not be accused of having a liberal bias)
“ESPNOutdoors.com inadvertently contributed to a flare-up Tuesday when we posted the latest piece in a series of stories on President Barack Obama’s newly created Ocean Policy Task Force, a column written by Robert Montgomery, a conservation writer for BASS since 1985. Regrettably, we made several errors in the editing and presentation of this installment. Though our series has included numerous news stories on the topic, this was not one of those — it was an opinion piece, and should clearly have been labeled as commentary.
And while our series overall has examined several sides of the topic, this particular column was not properly balanced and failed to represent contrary points of view. We have reached out to people on every side of the issue and reported their points of view — if they chose to respond — throughout the series, but failed to do so in this specific column.”~ ESPN

I guess the truth does not matter to some people when it comes to President Obama.
Spent? We all know how liberal logic entails the opposite of what common sense would dictate

Facemask, not a fan of Bush thanks
PLEASE HELP MY SPEECH, I SUCK AT SPEECHES AND PLEASE MAKE IT BETTER IF YOU CAN. = 10 points
Hey man, imma let you finish but _____ got the greatest speech of all time. I bet you all know who said that one single quote. The unpredictable douche, Kanye west. I will be explaining some reasons why kanye west is the douche of the century. First of all, I would like to talk more about that quote that changed the whole world´s impression on Mr. Kanye. It all happened on 13 of September 2009 at the MTV VMA´s. Where lovely Taylor swift walked up onto the stage liked an adorable puppy to accept her victory in the Best Female Video award. Then Kanye west approached onto the stage with a weapon called the microphone and said the memorable quote. Yo Taylor, I´m really happy for you, I´ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time! That one stupid sentence horrified shocked Taylor Swift as she stood up there looking like a fool. This is probably the main reason why we all hate him so much. In my opinion, I think it was a publicity stunt like the balloon boy.
There is also another controversial incident that showed how ignorant kanye west was. On September 2, 2005, Kanye West was an invited guest for a Hurricane Katrina relief program, when Kanye´s turn to speak, he said how the media portrayed the black people because of the looting. And the most of the people are in war rather than helping the people and giving the armies permission to shoot us, How stupid is that, that last part was just retarded,?! He then makes another mindless comment saying that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people. “How FUNNY IS THAT. This guy is a JOKE, At that point, the video cuts off to Chris Tucker as he looks confused and carries on with the script. It shows how really ignorant, stupid and controversial Kanye west is. Even the great almighty Barack Obama, thinks Kanye West is a jackass.
Kanye is also a stubborn mule. He thinks he´s the voice of the generation. He often whines at MTV awards, Like that time he went berserk because he didn´t win the Best Music Video Award that had Pamela Anderson in it. What a Noob.He needs to grow up.
I have to admit I liked some of his songs, but his personality is the worst I´ve seen, he´s stupid ignorant, stubborn, Noob and attention seeking artist. And that is why I think, Kanye west is the douche bag of the Century.
THANK YOU SO MUCh.
here is my introduction
” The current United States president is Barack Hussein Obama, of the Democratic Party. It is currently his responsibility to maintain the country and mend our broken economy. Some people think that he will rescue us, and others believe that he will only pound us further into the ground. Obama´s policies are what shape and sculpt the people´s opinions. I am here to identify the facts and judge, with an unbiased opinion, whether Obama will save us, ruin us, or if it is just too soon to tell, he has only been in office for a year and a half now.”
I don’t want to hear about your political opinion, I just need help making sure this is a good intro, my topic is the the last sentence, critical criticism advised. If you still need help understanding the topic, say so and I’ll clarify. thanks.
his current time in office wasn’t my topic… that’s a bad sign.

The current United States president is Barack Hussein Obama, of the Democratic Party. It is currently his responsibility to maintain the country and mend our broken economy. Some people think that he will rescue us, and others believe that he will only pound us further into the ground. Obama´s efficiency as president is an extremely controversial topic. I am here to identify the facts and judge, whether Obama will save us, ruin us, or if he will accomplish something in between.
I don’t have a thesis… I made one and am now back on track.
Does he have a mental disorder, or is he just a lying HACK?

It’s only a small grave, a rectangle of cheap concrete marking it out, blessed by a flourish of wild yellow lilies. Inside are the powdered bones and skulls and bits of femur of up to 300 children, Armenian orphans of the great 1915 genocide who died of cholera and starvation as the Turkish authorities tried to “Turkify” them in a converted Catholic college high above Beirut. But for once, it is the almost unknown story of the surviving 1,200 children – between three and 15 years old – who lived in the crowded dormitory of this ironically beautiful cut-stone school that proves that the Turks did indeed commit genocide against the Armenians in 1915.
Barack Obama and his pliant Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton – who are now campaigning so pitifully to prevent the US Congress acknowledging that the Ottoman Turkish massacre of 1.5 million Armenians was a genocide – should come here to this Lebanese hilltop village and hang their heads in shame. For this is a tragic, appalling tale of brutality against small and defenceless children whose families had already been murdered by Turkish forces at the height of the First World War, some of whom were to recall how they were forced to grind up and eat the skeletons of their dead fellow child orphans in order to survive starvation.
Jemal Pasha, one of the architects of the 1915 genocide, and – alas – Turkey’s first feminist, Halide Edip Adivar, helped to run this orphanage of terror in which Armenian children were systematically deprived of their Armenian identity and given new Turkish names, forced to become Muslims and beaten savagely if they were heard to speak Armenian. The Antoura Lazarist college priests have recorded how its original Lazarist teachers were expelled by the Turks and how Jemal Pasha presented himself at the front door with his German bodyguard after a muezzin began calling for Muslim prayers once the statue of the Virgin Mary had been taken from the belfry.
Hitherto, the argument that Armenians suffered a genocide has rested on the deliberate nature of the slaughter. But Article II of the 1951 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide specifically states that the definition of genocide – “to destroy in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group” – includes “forcibly transferring children of the group to another group”. This is exactly what the Turks did in Lebanon. Photographs still exist of hundreds of near-naked Armenian children performing physical exercises in the college grounds. One even shows Jemal Pasha standing on the steps in 1916, next to the young and beautiful Halide Adivar who – after some reluctance – agreed to run the orphanage.
Before he died in 1989, Karnig Panian – who was six years old when he arrived at Antoura in 1916 – recorded in Armenian how his own name was changed and how he was given a number, 551, as his identity. “At every sunset in the presence of over 1,000 orphans, when the Turkish flag was lowered, ‘Long Live General Pasha!’ was recited. That was the first part of the ceremony. Then it was time for punishment for the wrongdoers of the day. They beat us with the falakha [a rod used to beat the soles of the feet], and the top-rank punishment was for speaking Armenian.”
Panian described how, after cruel treatment or through physical weakness, many children died. They were buried behind the old college chapel. “At night, the jackals and wild dogs would dig them up and throw their bones here and there … at night, kids would run out to the nearby forest to get apples or any fruits they could find – and their feet would hit bones. They would take these bones back to their rooms and secretly grind them to make soup, or mix them with grain so they could eat them as there was not enough food at the orphanage. They were eating the bones of their dead friends.”
Using college records, Emile Joppin, the head priest at the Lazarite Antoura college, wrote in the school’s magazine in 1947 that “the Armenian orphans were Islamicised, circumcised and given new Arab or Turkish names. Their new names always kept the initials of the names in which they were baptised. Thus Haroutioun Nadjarian was given the name Hamed Nazih, Boghos Merdanian became Bekir Mohamed, to Sarkis Safarian was given the name Safouad Sulieman.”
Lebanese-born Armenian-American electrical engineer Missak Kelechian researches Armenian history as a hobby and hunted down a privately printed and very rare 1918 report by an American Red Cross officer, Major Stephen Trowbridge, who arrived at the Antoura college after its liberation by British and French troops and who spoke to the surviving orphans. His much earlier account entirely supports that of Father Joppin’s 1949 research.

I mean, Obama is bad…. but Celtic Woman is HORRIBLE!!
*Hurl*
I am doing a 5 paragraph essay for school which has to do with Barack Obama’s state of the union address. I need to the specific problems stated for: The Economy, Education, and the deficit.
Thank you! This is greatly appreciated!
I already watched the entire speech in class. I didn’t catch the specific problems.
C’mon y’all.
Looks like people aren’t happy with what they have. How does this change the debate?
A new Associated Press-GfK Poll finds a widespread hunger for improvements to the health care system, which suggests President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies have a political opening to push their plan. Half of all Americans say health care should be changed a lot or “a great deal,” and only 4 percent say it shouldn’t be changed at all.
