Top News Story Week 15

Top News Stories 15


My Top Story
OJ Simpson

O.J. Simpson was found guilty of burglary this week and was likely to be sentenced to 15 years in prison. I think it's great that he finally has to spend SOME time behind bars where he belongs. Everyone knows he killed his wife. It was strange listening to his final plea before sentencing last week. Even though I believe him to be a terrible man, and think he deserves what is coming to him, I still was charmed by him and I felt sorry that his stuff got stolen. He is a very charming man and thats scary. Anyway..I'm really glad that some justice is finally coming to this man. I think it's long overdue. The story was really fun to watch..it had a lot of news coverage. I believe the first time I saw the story was actually on ESPN or something. I hope they continue to update us as to what happens with his case.

Top News Stories Week 14

My Top Stories of The Week



President elect Barack Obama has been making some very strategic cabinet picks after his election.  The most talked about had to be his choice of Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State. I wanted to write on this story because i feel it is really interesting that he picked her. During the presidential campaign the two were bitter rivals and didn't agree on most of the major issues. I don't think that Hilary or Bill will try to push their own agenda during Obama's term. i know a lot of American's have raised that question. I think it was a wise choice to select her to his cabinet. Bush's cabinet was far too conservative. Now, with Obama's recent picks, the cabinet is looking to be a healthy balance of both liberals and conservatives. I think that's great for the country! Too much of one thing is never good.
