Monday #9- Steve Huntley columnist #3

In this article, Steve Huntley claims that Obama's actions don't back up his speeches. He claims that Obama is being hypocritical when he talks about the need for action of creating new jobs, yet is delaying large construction projects that would generate jobs, such as the Keystone pipeline. He also thinks that there needs to be a fundamental reform in Washington in taxes and closing loopholes to restrict lobbyists.

Monday #9- Steve Huntley columnist #2

In "Obama's political goals bad for us all", Steve Huntley expresses his opinion that Obama has been trying to do the wrong things and isn't helping the country. He believes that Obama hasn't been doing what the voters wanted him to do, and instead of promoting bipartisanship, has been widening the gap between Democrats and Republicans. He conveys this by providing a fairly one-sided approach to Obama's policies and didn't show both the good and the bad. Also, he used terminology such as "spread the wealth around" and "income redistributive model of European welfare states" which would cast an unfavorable light on the Obama administration.
