This just goes to show how bad our country really is. We may look like a good country on the outside but we are definitely not. There are a lot of freaks in our country and when they do something bad or wrong it makes the whole country look bad which is not a good thing.

Obama wants to meet with Mitt Romney because he wants to see if he would be interested in working together to get the country back into shape. I think Romney should tell him no and that he is the president and needs fix it on his own but Romney probably won't. He will probably tell him something like he would love to help.

In this article they talked about how high the powerball winnings would be. They said it would be about 500 million dollars which is a pretty penny. When the ticket sales ended the winnings had gone up to 656 million dollars which is the second biggest ever. I would love to win that much money my life would be so easy.

If I won the powerball my life would be so much easier than it is. I know a lot of people would probably say that if they won that much money they would quit school or their job but I don't think I would quit school but if I had a job I probably would quit that. One thing I would do with the money is donate a pretty good amount to a bunch of different charities. Another thing I would do with it would be buy a house and like 5 cars and trucks. I would also buy a nice boat and every kind of fishing pole and every kind of lure that has ever been made.That's what I would do if I won the powerball.

In my opinion it is understandable why it has gone down and continues to go down. Everybody was using there money to prepare for hurricane sandy and to fix the damage that she did.

In my opinion these so called "baby boxes" are a good idea but also a bad idea at the same time. They are a good idea because if a girl gets raped and gets pregnant she has a safe alternative for the baby instead of abortion or like the example they gave killing it and burying it in the woods or something. However, it is also a bad idea because a couple could be having a baby but they don't want the responsibility of caring for it so they can just get rid of it.

These things will probably happen because in my opinion Obama is one of the worst presidents we have had.

I think it is completely ridiculous that she ran over her husband for not voting. I can't even begin to imagine what she would do if her husband was cheating on her and she found out. To run someone over for not voting is just plain stupid end of story.

In my opinion it is a good idea to prepare for something like that to happen. I'm not saying though to become an all out nut about it so you lose all of your friends and become a social outcast because of it.
