Obama decries rising racial rhetoric

MSNBC.com

On Saturday in Plainfield, Indiana Barack Obama discussed the issues of racism. He talked the about how this whole competition with Hilary Clinton the fact of racism had been brought up. Obama’s mother was from Kansas and his father was from Kenya and he Obama says “as someone who has little pieces of America all in me." He says that the schools should be better in teaching about African American history, and about other cultures. He went around and spoke with many high schools and talked to them about the issue also.

I think he makes a good point about teaching all kids more about other things like the African American history. I truly thank that most kids in America are brought up seeing that white people are American. People don’t like to admit to the fact of it, or don’t like to sound like there a little bit racist. I think that it’s a really good thing that Obama is going around and talking to kids about the issue of racism.

For the third time in the past month Britney Spears goes to visit her two sons once again. Preston, 2 and Jayden, 17 months spent some time at her house last Wednesday. It was the third visit that they All had since February 22nd, the day that lawyers for the singer and her ex-husband Kevin Federline reached a visitation agreement . The article said that all the times that Britney has went to see her sons it has been “full of hugs and affection”. It also said that the two boys have a very close bond with there mother.

I think it’s really good that Britney is realizing that she needs to get her life together and its good that she’s going to visit her sons. Just from reading this article anyone could tell that she trying to make the effort in being a better mom. There were bad decisions that she made in the past but I think she’s trying to make them all better starting by being a good mother.

Britney Spears's night out with dad

www.people.com

After spending 3 hours with her two sons Britney Spears went and had dinner with her dad Jamie. A little before 8 pm her and her dad joined accompanied by an assistant, a family friend, and two body guards. It said that Britney seemed to be in a good mood and happy. “Britney looked stunning and everyone turned around to get a glimpse of her", said a waitress at the restaurant. The waitress had also said that “Everyone seemed extremely protective of Britney."

I personally feel really bad for Britney. I think her life right now is just a big mess and I think she really does want it to change. It seems like she can’t step out of her house without doing something “wrong” that will probably end up being in every magazine. The article said that she had went to go see her sons and it seems like she’s making the effort, even thought she made the stupid decisions in the first place to lose them, she’s trying to make it better.

Obama extends streak with Wis., Hawaii wins

MSNBC.com

On Tuesday night Barack Abama beats Hilary Clinton in the Wisconsin and Hawaii caucuses gaining the upper hand. This will make it the tenth straight triumph for Obama. "The change we seek is still months and miles away," Obama told a crown in Texas, were he also pledged to end the war in Iraq. He said he didn’t think it was right to start the war in 2002 and he plans on ending in 2009.

I think that it will be every interesting to see if the war will really be ended if he does become president. When these candidates say that they will be ending the war it isn’t an easy thing, they cant just say the war is over and pull out there are other thing tied into it, so if he can really do this it will be an amazing thing. It’s exciting to see that he is winning over so many of these states. Everything he says is really crushing what Hilary Clinton has to say in the election.

Jamie- Lynn Spears, Britney's sister, is pregnant

TMZ.com


As most people know Jamie- Lynn Spears is pregnant, and with her long time boyfriends Casey Aldrige. Jamie- Lynn’s mom Lynn Spears was the first to tell OK magazine about it. Jamie- Lynn recently had told AP she did not have a steady boyfriend and then said "I kind of just keep my options open," she told AP. "I have a bunch of friends that I always hang out with, a bunch of guy friends." Jamie- Lynn’s boyfriend’s mother had told TMZ "We are aware of the recent interview regarding her and being pregnant, and we are in agreement with everything that was said by Jamie Lynn about the situation ... everything is fine. ... Casey will address all of this when it is time." Still no one knows whether it’s true that the two were planning on being married or not.

I think that this whole situation is rediculous, no 16 year old should be pregnant. When Jamie- Lynn gets pregnant with this guy and then she says that she has no steady boyfriend is a little weird. Both Jamie- Lynn and Casey’s parents seem unfazed about the whole thing, they act like It’s not big deal but it really is a huge deal. I don’t think that she thought about the long run with her whole career and everything

Clinton, Obama go one-on-one in debate

MSNBC.com

In the debate in California Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton discussed topics like Immigration, health care, and the war in Iraq. Clinton says that this nation needs a president ready to go to work on day one. Obama’s response to that was” part of the argument that I’m making in this campaign is that it is important to be right on day one”.
Personally I would rather see Obama win in this election, and I think that all the points that he is making in all of these debates are better then those that Hilary Clinton are making. The things that he is saying when he is going against Hilary make a lot more sense and are a lot more important.

CNN.com "Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnancy raises legal questions"

Jamie-Lynn Spears has just recently told Ok Magazine of her pregnancy. She also told them that the father is her 18 year old boyfriends who she had been dating for years. Legal issues have been brought up about how it might not have been legal that the 18 year old got Jamie-Lynn pregnant. It may be legal depending on where and when it took place. Critics of the National statutory rape law say that “laws that are ignored in some cases can be used to put other teens in prison and land them on sex-offender registries”. In California where Jamie-Lynn shoots her Nickelodeon show “Zoey 101” it is illegal for have sex with someone younger than 18 if the offender is less than three years older. This is that fact that is causing issues.
