Is Al-Qaida Growning
First i wondering why the U.S. government hasn't try to disband these groups that are in countries like Yemen and Mali. As in the last three years this group has increase their number of members and has influence in the northern Africa, leading you to wonder if they jump with huge numbers in three years what if they had another three. This is a huge concern for the U.S. right now as far as national security this would be consider as a huge threat and because of the recent problem from the Christmas attempted attack its makes you wonder if the U.S. should be worry or not. I just feel that these groups have too much access to government knowledge and weapons, when you have certain information then its easy too do your part for what you believe in. What about nations surrounding these areas of northern Africa would they have to worry about anything which i think the misconception is that these groups are only plotting against the U.S. because they have showed that they will go after anybody that's our allies or who believe in the same thing we do causing big issues if these groups are not disbanded right now. right now their status is classified as a potent group and a strong force to be reckon with, in December of 2007 they killed 37 U.N. people including officers which that tells you that this group doesn't care and anyone that get in their way has a handful to deal ahead. Because of past activities of them kidnapping people and selling them back to whatever country the person came from holding them in bad condition and putting them threw torch er it would make me skeptical about traveling there and even anywhere in Africa because of the followers they have. North Mali is said they people are warned and restricted from going there but l would say this for any country surrounding these areas i wouldn't near it and most defiantly watch myself as i think I'm so comfortable in the U.S.

Toyota making it difficult to drive their vehicles
Recently Toyota has been under investigation for not follow safety rules and putting customers in danger. I feel like they should have been under investigation along time ago when they first discovery the problem, its said that they made the pedals and floor mats sticky to the point where it has cause sixteen percent of the unintended accelerations reports. This is when you just have money on your mind and you only thinking make your profits and this is where some like this become dangerous to your consumers who are buying your vehicles everyday. I feel why be greedy if your already worth plenty, because then you put yourself in a place where with all the money you have, you could lose that amount probably even more then you would've spent on doing the recalls just look always the dollars. They had to do a recall for four million cars in October of two thousand and nine so that by itself had to be a big task because you have all these customers which your trying to explain why are people's pedals getting stuck and how their putting your life at risk. They lucky their wasn't anything they could have used against them to show their lack of respect for the safety regulations, regardless of how heavy profits being made on Toyota if they can put people at risk just because of the money generating and flowing then this would be a company i wouldn't trust on buying a vehicle from. Mostly when you think of a foreign car you think about how their cars are durable and has expensive parts to it, so with that said you expect this from a Toyota they make one of the best cars in my opinion before everything with the recalls and reported incidents. This is not in Toyota's character to have cars where people don't want to buy or worrying about getting because of the safety of the vehicle. I think their going to have too start paying attention more to the products their making because it would hurt them more business wise and financially, to me its about the money so whatever they have to do too get around from paying money or worry about losing anything they'll keep trying to cover the fact that this has happen maybe thinking its going to go away but because it causing complaints in America and its from a foreign place with expensive parts.What is this?

back in global warming
Global warming has been in issue for years me personally; I never pay it any attention when i use to see people picketing outside with signs that say stop pollution or your affecting climate change but now growing up and seeing the differences in the climate then and the climate now can now I've been paying attention in how their is more hot days in the winter and cold days in the summer its all knocked out of place. With the new climate bill Obama trying to impose will give help to the situation that pretty much damaged badly, that would help in close emission fuels from polluting the air by capturing it in a storage. Investing in bio fuels and becoming more environmental friendly will help us start using other resources that can possibly save money and create a better climate, but also not being an dependent on foreign oil, creating more jobs here using our own resources. By using corn based fuel its said this would create more global warming issues or maybe not?, so why use sugar with ethanol to create a less pollution and still get the same results as far as creating jobs and saving pollution. This to me is a brilliant plan by the president to eliminate needed a resources from enemies and allies to where our money is going to, therefore saving us a heap of money that can be produce into our own economy. Everyone benefits from this even protesters, the whole going green campaign can benefit; I wonder why wasn't this done sooner and i mean it was known there was crisis beginning to happen, it would've been more energy and focus done on this already but to show yea sometimes Obama does alot of imaging, but his ideas are great and can be accomplished with help from those who hold that power.

Why not pass a health care reform bill?
The health care reform bill that Obama's has proposed seem more beneficiary to those who needed the most, after watching his speeches and reading articles on what he has to say, it seems like what has proposed makes sense. For my generation who to me are suffering more from this recession, because of the lack of jobs that are out there and for the jobs that's out there to offer some kind of insurance for those who's not in school or for those who's in school but are not consider as dependents any more, gives an opportunity to get some kind of insurance. For other retired people who just living off social security, retirement checks, disability, or any other source of income, most can't afford the high plans and high medicines even with medicare. This in my opinion should have been made priority to fix even Clinton consider a new health care reform bill seventeen years ago, this has build up like everything else the government has allowed to build up to where its become a problem. Speaking for myself and other poor Americans this should past, it saves us little money we already have to put out and for the high middle class and rich who most seems against it because you're getting a little tax think about those without tax it can help those can't afford it. In my opinion health care deserves more attention and financial support then financing this war or whatever it may be, in years this hurt me as far as financially, but I believe if there are more people cover it prevent certain illnesses from being spreading or just aware of it. Its going to tax does who are middle class and up with families but people without jobs with families would hurt worst and people get sick and died or just not knowing if you're affecting with anything can cause a hazardous enviroment.

Why is the national security so weak?
The story that really applies that this might be true, has to be the attempt on Christmas day by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who attempted to take down the northwest airlines landed in Detroit by placing a bomb in his pants to blow up the plane. Even being suspected of being a part of a terrorist group and having his visa application rejected, still their was no way to prevent him of this tragedy that could have happen. Warnings from his father telling the U.S. embassy one month before stating "My son is around bad people who could be plotting an attack ," should have been a huge red flag. I mean this man was in Detroit as cold as it is without a coat to me that's suspicious enough and no luggage, what other signs is needed. I'm not for judging anybody for what they have on or how they look because as a black man knowing that feeling of being judge and label is ludicrous, even worse for people who practice this religion but doesn't believe in hurting people are getting stereotype on a daily basis for a group of people's wrong doings. You would think because of previous attacks and attempted conspiracy's attacks the national security would be more prepare for such a senseless act like this, especially when our terror alert red just a few years ago. I think you can blame the people was working that day for not being more alert and also the policy's we have in place, maybe its not secure of enough, or being cheap on funding it because profits are going to economic issues we have going on. Either way something has to be done, I have never took a plane but this affects me even if it never hits home because if attacks keep happening and it apposes that we have a weakness for protecting our country and opens potential new problems. Why is our national security so weak right now?With new policies they plan on putting in, will it make flying into nervously strict experience.
