Updates, Updates, READ all about it!

If I were editor-in-chief I would want my reporter's covering these issues that could play a role in the 2012 presidential election. We would look into both sides of the spectrum.


In recent events, Bin Laden was killed by U.S. Navy Seals, which was announced to the public on May 1st. But, even when the President addressed the death of Bin Laden, some people still do not believe he was killed and buried at sea. The people are screaming they want proof. So, I think that we should give it to them. Let's look into why they really have not been released, what is Obama saying, and what to are some outlooks from both sides. This nation is run by the people so if the majority of them want to see why do they not show us.


Second, what affects almost every person in the United States daily? THE GAS PRICES.


Today, I took a major hit in my bank account spending $103 to just to fill up my Mercury Mountaineer. My parents often reflect to when gas was 20 cents, letting me know and envy that time. I want my reporters to investigate the price increase and why if  oil prices dropped 8.6 percent, averaging $100 a barrel, why has the gas prices not gone down? How much are we using for the oil rigs off of our coast line? What could help the prices go down, without having to buy electric cars?


Also, I want my reporters to look into where America's economy is today?


I want to take a look where America is falling on the business cycle:


Obama claims we are in recovery but the American people are saying, we are still in the recession. I want to take a look in our economy and where we stand. The unemployment rate stands strongly at 8.8 percent, with seeing no end in sight. Let's take a look into the raising amount of homeless families in the U.S., and look into this 'recovery' Obama is saying we are in. Also, think about if illegals are helping or hurting this job situation we are in. What should be done about the illegals in this country?


Other topics to cover: the debt, the budget, national security, foreign policy, take a look into what we are still doing with Libya and lastly how much power does the president really have?
