A word from the editor:

----->If it’s Ben & Balanced, then it’s reliable.

On this page, I will comment on recent and relevant world news and interesting articles pertaining to politics and media coverage. Even though everyone, including myself, is entitled to his or her opinions, I will try to be as fair and balanced as possible, and will strive to point to information that is not objective. There will be some praising, some bashing, and a lot of sarcasm... but mostly, there will be honesty.

Will Osama Help Obama?

Without a doubt, the most significant event of the week was the announcement of Obama’s death at the hand of the American Forces.  After ten long years, the individual responsible for 9/11 was finally found and shot.  This represents a great victory for the United States in its war against terrorism, and the news has been welcomed by the American people.
Indeed, Obama’s approval ratings went up, many media outlets, including Hannity on Fox News, entertained a positive coverage on the event and what it means to the USA.  Now I’m wondering whether this positive spirit will last.  Will Obama continue to benefit from that unexpected turn of events, or is it temporary?
If you would have asked me that question six months ago, I would have said this is temporary.  But given the unveiling of Obama’s long form birth certificate, and simultaneously Trump’s demise, I feel like the combination of the two may put Obama into a good position for 2012.  We shall keep a close eye on those poles.
