"The Founding Fathers would be ‘very severe critics’ of Obama if they were alive today".

Newt Gingrich a former house speaker made some declarations about what the founding fathers of America would think about the present government including of course the actual president Obama, this arguments that I considered a little out of context, do not have the purpose of a constructive criticism, it looks more as an ideology perspective from a republican who do not agree with the Obama's politics ways. The reporter who ask this question was looking for an answer where he shows his point of view after the book he wrote "to try man's souls" about a hero, George Washington who make a change in the revolutionary war, and how hard was to accomplish his goals in those difficult days. He try to compared that sacrifice to the present days and there is a big different in any aspect of the American thinking and living manner. It is true that if the founding fathers cold make an opinion of the today’s government, they will criticize it, but he came put all the blame in Obama, he is just starting as a president of the country and the actual government is a compilation of years and years of change and adjusts, and Second, the develops that The actual system is trying to bring up are exactly to fix anterior mistakes and probably futures. I agree with him when he said that government is too big and Washington have to be shrink to return power back to the people, but the ideas of the current government do not try to take this power away from the people with the health plan, I think they are trying to give opportunity to them. He also talked about drive god out of a public life going to put our freedom in risk, this been a debated issue since the American’s born, why does have to change today? I am anxious to see the doctrine of one god commenced in our state. - Thomas Jefferson. I do not agree with Mr. Newt and I can say his words don’t look for the wellness of our present issues.

Rebranding America

"Rebranding America" it's an article post in The New York Times newspaper by the Singer of the band U2, Bono. He has become one of the world's best-known philanthropic performers and I find out today also a really good columnist. The article is about the changes that can be possible by the union of the world in one cause, in this case, “three greatest threats we face on this planet”, they are extreme poverty, extreme ideology and extreme climate change. This three problems can be solve by the collaboration and unify of ideologies for the wellness of our world, He said that this can be possible following an equation formulated by General Jones: Stability = security + development. But this formula is effective only when American foreign policy conform to that formula; there is where Barack Obama, the Actually President of the United States plays the important role, his fresh and different point of view in the peace world’s matter can make the difference. Bono makes reference to a speech he gave at the United Nations last month, specifically a 36 words that can show his intentions to be the change that not just America, but the world needs in this days. Now as a Nobel of peace representative and his commitment on this change maybe this words can make a lot of sense in the General Jones’s equation. Like Bono, I do believe too that could well be a force for peace and prosperity but the change have to be in everyone of us, in our mind and ideologies, always looking not for our own benefit, but in the benefits of all the human being in this, our planet. It looks like a big task to accomplish and it is, so we have to start now because tomorrow it’s going to be too late. Bono show us an article with proof of what he is supporting that make it more trusty and attractive to different kind of believes. I agree with him and recommend everybody to read it.
