Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake have written and article for The Washington Post entitled "How the 1st debate changed the campaign (and what it didn't change)", Cillizza and Blake have both stated their two main purposes quiet clearly in their article as what has changed and hasn't changed for the election.
As we all know, the first presidential debate for 2012 aired on October 3rd, 2012 and many differential opinions were discussed. Whether President Obama. All in all both candidates never ran out of time speaking (one did stutter to take more time) and even exceeded their 2 minute time limits.
Cillizza and Blake both expressed their own opinions in their article by just the facts they have chosen. For instance, in their changes they put that many republicans are excited about Romney now after the debate. Statistics apparently show that 80% of people that were to vote for Romney are only voting for him because they are anti-Obama, the other 20% are voting for the reason they are pro-Romney. Quoting the people by saying, "we have a reason to vote for Romney."
For things that haven't changed, Cillizza and Blake put the Obama electoral vote edge and that the Obama team is NOT dumb. They predicted that all of the swing states would mostly go to Romney, but Obama would most likely still win the electoral vote. The two never did state the reason why Obama would win the electoral vote though. By saying the Obama team is not dumb, they are simply pointing out that during good times the team are "geniuses"; when the times are bad the team are "idiots."
Towards the end of heir article, Cillizza and Blake bring up some issues between the two political parties. For instance, there is money, the Big Bird ad, and Romney's "New Normal" ad. Obama and the DNC raised $181 million dollars in September. Romney and the RNC, unfortunately, raise as much money. The Big Bird ad lead to be a big issue since it was an ad that Obama released basically bashing Romney for wanting to end federal funding on public broadcasting. Making it seem as if Obama and the Democratic Party are warm hearted. Finally Romney's "New Normal" ad brings up controversy on how Obama is "lowering expectations" on Americans.
I agree with the fact that Obama's team is not dumb because since it seems like everyone is a genius when times are going good and that they are idiots when they are bad. I disagree with the fact that Republicans only voted for Romney because they were against Obama. I know for a fact that my parents voted for Romney because of his glorious ideas.

CC#3: Gov. Report on Flying Saucer
In an article published my FoxNews by the title of, "Government report on secret flying saucer program made available" the anonymous author informs us, the readers, about the flying saucer that was being discussed in the year of 1956. Adding on to the that fact, the author also explains how this "disk-shaped" aircraft was exactly supposed to look.
In the article it specifically states that, "The National Declassification Center in College Park, Md., opened one of more than 100 cardboard boxes from the Air Force recently and came across a 114-page document from 1956." Know that we have unveiled the document pertaining the saucer, we now know that the government of 1956 were planning on establishing an aircraft that resembled a disk shape. This also strikes up a whole new curiosity on what else the government has been hiding from the United States citizens.
Perhaps our very own government even tried covering this project up and never speaking of it again. In a quote spoken by Neil Carmichael he stated, "It's like somebody went into somebody's office, emptied out a filing cabinet, stuck it in a box, sealed it, and sent it off to the federal records center." Sounds suspicious, yes?
Have we ever thought about how much intelligence in creating new technology our government back in the 50s held? Maybe they were smarter than we could ever even possibly think of. Carmichael also told Fox News that some of the reports in the document were interesting. Maybe the gov.. knew exactly how to create such a foreign object better than we expected.
The "disk-shaped" aircraft comes with an ejector seat, 100,000 ft ceiling, was powered by a "ram jet", and could reach the speed of Mach 4. The document also states that, "Six Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbo jets -- 1,900 lb. thrust, 22.0" overall diameter, 525 lb weight each -- are mounted radially in the wing, exhausting inwards; and used as gas generations to drive a pair of contra-rotating centrifugal impellers by means of a radial inflow turbine."
This program was most likely hid for so many years because people didn't really realize how much our technology was advancing back in the 1950s. Therefore, the government decided that hiding their ideas was probably a better, understanding idea than posting it for the whole world to see.

CC#4: 'Moonshiners'
Meaghan Murphy gives us great details on a famous moonshiner, Tim Smith, and his beliefs in her latest article: 'Moonshiners' star Tim Smith wants to go legit, says investors are wary. She's explained Tim as man who was working on making moonshiners go "legit" on the hit TV show, "Moonshiners" ran on Discovery Channel. Smith has told FoxNews.com on his first ever interview online, "I'm trying to get out of these woods. I'm trying to get out there and take an illegal product and make legal money out of it. They say you can't do it, but I think we can."
Even though Tim Smith is very successful with his reality TV show, he is having a bit of trouble getting people to invest in his ideas on manufacturing moonshine. "It's a challenge," admits Smith, a forth generation moonshiner, "It’s kind of hard to tell someone that you’re an illegal moonshiner trying to start a legal business. A lot of times, there’s an investor–they kind of take it with the wrong interpretation, I guess. They kind of look at it as, ‘Well, if you’re brewing something illegal now, then you’re probably doing something illegal later, so we’re not too fond of that idea.’”
Smith is even reported saying that he wants to make something that "stands out" when he publishes his brand of moonshine. He wants people to notice his label when he sets a bottle of his delectable treat on a table or at a bar. No matter how far away, preferably farther away. " If you gotta get up close to it to identify it, and then you take a person who’s been drinking, they could care less what it is. But I want something to be attractive and something that’s going to stand out, so we’ll just have to wait and see what I come up with,” Tim reported.
"Smith also notes that he has a unique background in making the taboo brew that the big, legal distilleries lack," noted Murphy. Apparently, none of them have actually made real moonshine in their life. In fact, the reason that Smith is so anxious and feels so pushed to become a legal moonshiner is because no one else really knows how to make moonshine. He even wants to be and believes that he will be the only illegal moonshiner to go legal.
Some moonshiners say they make an average of $200, 000 a year, but Tim Smith disagrees. "There are very few people who are making that kind of money," Smith was quoted, I know that they’re trying to build it up that it’s possible – and it is possible. Any kind of business is possible – look at Wal-Mart. But normally, it doesn’t happen. Normally, these guys just work and the money goes back into the business. No one really gets rich off of this thing, it’s just that everyone keeps going. Once you get in it, it’s hard to stop and get out of it.”
All in all I believe that Mr. Smith should not become a legal moonshiner. Or anyone to be honest. Moonshine should just be illegal period. It's bad enough that there are people who tend to drink uncontrollably on just regular alcohol, imagine people binge drinking all of the time on moonshine.

OPENER
Most liberals, left wingers, believe that Barack Obama should be our president because he represents everything that is good with our country. But all-in-all, he does not. If believing in gay marriage and abortion is right than I want to be 100% wrong. Liberals just don't quite understand the concept of "right and wrong" these days.
ONE SUBJECT-VERB SPLIT
What is right and wrong these days? Liberals, left wingers, believe that President Obama believes in the right things. For example, he believes in abortion and gay marriage. If someone were truly Christian they would ban the thought of these two subjects being right from their minds.
CLOSER
In the USA today many people who voted for Obama believe that he is correct on all of the topics he stands for. Two in particular are gay marriage and abortion. The people that voted for Obama think that these two topics should be legal in the United States. These people that voted for our president are liberals, left wingers.

CC#1: Larry Stylinson
A recent article written by Ben Harvey for the Huffington Post by the title of "One Direction Bromance or Romance? All Aboard the S.S. Stylinson!", Mr. Harvey explains how Larry Stylinson is real. "Larry shipper's" beliefs, and how the Larry shippers love him for believing in the Stylinson relationship.After Harvey wrote his article on specifically two of the boys from 1D, he has quoted some of the tweets he has received ever since he typed out this tweet, "After watcheing the "Bible", I tweeted 'OK, I'm on board with you #Larry fans. Whatever is going on between them, is beautiful". Some feedback he received was, "A prophet has spoken" and "Ben Harvey you're my God". People from all over have been sending Ben Harvey multiple tweets on how he is their "hero" and that "an adult finally agrees with their OTP". People on Tumblr have even started making blogs dedicated to him saying things like "he's the only one who works in this business who understands us Larry Believers". The picture that I have placed in this document is one of the several that were sent to Mr. Harvey. Harvey has even stated that, "many believe that there is an orchestrated conspiracy to keep Harry and Louis in the closet, and that Eleanor, Louis' professed girlfriend, is his 'beard'".
I do agree that the two boys that Harvey is mentioning, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, are indeed together and have a happy relationship going on.
I disagree that Ben Harvey is a "God". To me he is just a man that believes that Harry and Louis are in a committed relationship.
A connection that I can make is that I am a Larry shipper myself and I believe in the fact that Styles and Tomlinson are in a relationship and that Eleanor Calder, "Louis' professed girlfriend" is a cover up.
In order to learn more about this intriguing information, I can do research on: Ben Harvey, Larry Stylinson, and Modest! Management (One Direction's management).
Book Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Ever felt down and don't know exactly how to lift your spirits up? Read The Perks of Being a Wallflower! This book will really change the impact on your life and really get you thinking more. Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower really got me thinking with it's touching dramatic events.
The life lesson of this book is that you should always try to look at the bright side of events that happen in your lifetime. Good examples that Charlie describes are: "I feel great! I really mean it. I have to remember this for the next time I'm having a terrible week. Have you ever done that? You feel really bad, and then it goes away, and you don't know why. I try to remind myself when I feel great like this that there will be another terrible week coming someday, so I should store up as many great details as I can, so during the next terrible week, I can remember those details and believe that I'll feel great again. It doesn't work a lot, but I think it's very important to try", "All I hope is that my sister feels beautiful, and her new guy makes her feel beautiful. I hope that Craig doesn't make Sam feel that her prom isn't special just because he's older. I hope the same for Mary Elizabeth and Peter. I hope Brad and Patrick decide to makeup and dance in front of the whole school. And that Alice is secretly a lesbian and in love with Brad's girlfriend Nancy (and vice versa), so nobody feels left out", and "Basically, Craig had been cheating on Sam ever since they started going out...I never once thought that it would mean Sam might start liking me. All I cared about was the fact that Sam got really hurt. And I guess I realized at the moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter".
The author's style to me was actually quiet welcoming. I felt like a friend of mine had given me their diary to read or someone was sending me letters on how their life was going. I never once thought that the way that Chbosky wrote the book was bad in any way. It is unique from other books I've read. Other books that I've read from the past do not feel like I have some connection with them. This book did in a way because of how Charlie had two senior friends and he is just starting out in high school. The same thing happened to me last year. Another reason why TPOBAW is unique is that I've never really read a book that deals with someone writing letters as the actually story. And last, this book actually made me cry at the end when I finally finished it. I felt many moving emotions that I've never felt before. The main characters practically are Charlie, Sam, and Patrick. Charlie is a laid back kind of boy who goes with what everyone else is doing, Sam is a little on the wild side and loves to have a good time, and Patrick is just like Charlie in the way he likes to kick back and just prepare himself for what life is going to hit him with. The characters made me enjoy the book for the way they acted. The setting of this book is a boy named Charlie starts writing letters to his "friend" on all of the situations that are going on in his life. The setting affects the conflict within the book. Because Charlie just needs to get all of his emotions and feelings out to someone but not someone he personally knows. This book connects to a personal issue I had about 5 months ago when graduation occurred. One of my really good friends had graduated and just like Charlie, it made me really upset. Another connection would be that I do keep a diary and write in it every once in awhile.
Yes, I would recommend this to ANYONE in the world! I love this book so much that I would buy all of my friends copies and make them read it, that's how much this book is really worth reading. If you ever need a quick book to read on any circumstances, I suggest you read The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
