I think he made a big mistake with Janet Napolitano for the reasons that you state. He also appointed Kaye Sebelius former Governor of Kansas and Ken Salazar the Senator from Colorado to his Cabinet. All these seats will be difficult to win because they are essentially Republican and they can't transfer over their popularity to the next crop of candidates.
I think he did not anticipate Brown's election and the many dumb people who are attacking him Hope this helped.
Obama will jump through hoops to find a legality in this bill to shut it down because he gets no glory or votes if the bill is allowed to stand...Obama sees the 460,000 illegals in Arizona as possible voters for him in 2012 other wise he wouldn't give 2 hoots in hell what happened to the illegals. There doesn't need to be a fence along our borders, simply put a bounty on illegals crossing the river.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
