Whether you love or hate politics, you probably have an opinion of President Obama and how he has performed during his time in office. This article claims he is proud of himself and his administration and has completed 60% of his goals. Do you agree or disagree? Has the President proven himself as a leader? Are we headed in the right direction? Does he deserve another 4 years in office? Post your opinions and reactions to the article below. Thanks!

Almost everyone of us either owns or has used an Ipod, an Ipad, an Iphone, a Mac Book, or an Apple computer. Last week on October 5th Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Inc. passed away. Jobs has had a HUGE impact on each and everyone of us and also set the bar for what kinds of electronics are currently made and also the future of technology. Starting off with him and his buddy, Jobs turned their work in a garage to a multi-million dollar company. Job's ideas and mind set of being a perfectionist is what separated him from the rest. Jobs had been fighting pancreatic cancer for about 8 years though and it finally defeated him after a long battle. Jobs will be missed, but his legacy will live on!
