State of the Union

Two days ago Barack Obama gave his state of the Union address to inform the nation and members of congress about the current state of the union. According to Obama the economy is recovering, more jobs are being created and unemployment is falling. However the economy is still on a long road to recovery. The United States is still trillions in debt and there is still instability in several industries and  the largest banks in the US are still too large to fail. The state of the union address was mainly about the road to economic recovery. His most important points were that new sustainable jobs should be created to help promote long term stability and companies should be rewarded for keeping jobs inside the US. Personally I feel like the the road to recovery will be achieved by regulation of banks and businesses, jobs in the US and bipartisan negotiation and compromise on a long term, safe recovery plan. 

Kim Jong Un

Recently Kim Jong Ill, the former dictator of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea has died, leaving Kim Jong Un in charge as the new head of state. Many people including his half brother believe that he is not capable of leading the DRPK. Kim Jong Un is only 27 years old and is the youngest head of state in the world. Many people believe that He is not capable of ruling the DPRK as well as Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il. There is a lot of doubt that has been cast upon Kim Jong Un and many people believe he will only worsen the situation in North Korea. Personally I believe that Kim Jong Un is not capable of leading the North Korean People because he has not been groomed like his father and he lacks the leadership skills that have been demonstrated by his father and grandfather. In short I believe that his is not experienced and not prepared for his new position  .
