End Of An Error

Obama's terrible presidency is coming to an end.

End Of An Error

On January 20th, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. I am not all too excited that Trump is coming in, but I am very much pleased thaat Obama is on the way out. Obama has lied his way through two terms and then lied on his way out during his farewell address. Obama does not deserve a thank you. He needs to be shown the door, because the sooner he leaves, the sooner we can get to work. Let's go through his "Legacy".

Responsible for the weakest economic recovery in American history

Obama loves to brag about how he got us out of a recession and helped create this thriving economy. All of that is true except for being completely false. Barry has had a record number of quarters where economic growth has been two percent or lower, labor force participation was brought down to a 40 year low, and there has been a decline in business startups and investment thanks to the administration's heavy regulations. Those examples are just a fraction of his damaging policies.

Obama's foreign policy has been disastrous

Obama has successfuly weakened America's foreign image over the last 8 years. The Obama administration has lied to us about the Iran deal and they have constantly been against Israel. We also should not let his administration forget what happened in Benghazi. Obama has not performed well on the foreign stage.

Race relations are worse now than what they were eight years ago

Obama could also be described as "The Great Divider" for how much he has been able to push the victimhood mentality and demonize cops. Obama has had a poisonous rhetoric, infecting our society. Polls show that Americans believe that race relations have gotten worse even though Barry stated otherwise. Two racist and hateful groups emerged under his two terms, that would be Black Lives Matter and the Alt-right. Obama has been race baiting his entire presidency, even inviting other race baiters like Deray to the White House.

Obama has been against the values that founded this country. He has lied his way through 8 years of scandals even though he has claimed to be scandal free. The change he has brought us has been awful, and I have not even discussed the dumpster fire that is Obamacare. Obama needs to pack up and get out, because America needs to get to work on repairing the damage he has done. He can kiss all of his so called "progress" goodbye.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
