America's Favorite President

According to a recent popularity poll on AOL, Americans rated Abraham Lincoln as the nation's greastes president. The poll, taken just in time for President's Day, offers surprising results. The list of options people could choose from included all presidents since Franklin Roosevelt, along with some of the more famous from earlier in American histroy- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, etc. When I took the survery, the question asked, "Who do you think was the greatest U.S. president?" It gave me these options- Washington, Raegan, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Lincoln, or other. I chose Washington, and the results favored Lincoln above all. The numbers were very different, and it was an interesting article.

3rd Assignment

I completely agree with your views on the media. I for one think very little of has-been idiots like Britney. I think our country & society have mixed emotions about the publicity that these stars' receive. Some sympathize, some pitty them, and some think it is utterly ridiculous. There's no getting away from the hype and choas that they promote; it's on the cover of every newspaper and/or magazine cover. Why are Americans more interested in what party Brit made an appearance at last night, rather than who our next president is going to be?

BONUS POST-

In all honesty, I'd much rather see Obama get the nod over Hillary. If for no other reason than I cannot stand her, she makes me sick. The last thing I want to see is another Clinton in the White House. In my opinion, Hillary is ridiculousy phony. I pray to God she doesnt make it back into the White House. I was completely behind Guiliani-supporting my fellow New Yorker. I respect him, and I feel strongly that he would have been a great president. He handled 9/11 incredibly, he deserves a lot of credit for that. But since he has dropped out of the race, I tend to lean toward McCain. I feel like McCain is a strong and tough man who has enough experience to run the nation. Still, I'm not 100% sure who I'm going to vote for. It definitely won't be Clinton though!

Second Post Identi-Kits

First off, Liz and Matt Mcconaughey make a pretty couple. For my Identi-Kit is used pictures that I identify myself with. I love leopard and all animal prints, so I used a picture in which I was wearing leopard. I drink tea, not coffee. I incorporated my background by including a picture of the Staten Island Bridge, aka the Outer Bridge. There's a picture of my car also. I love food, it's pure enjoyment. My nails are a major descriptive characteristic of myself. I chose all these things because they are apart of my everyday life and they are associated with who I am.

First Assignment

The most fun I've ever had writing was last semester in my Student Success class. All my assignments were interesting, and they made me think. I enjoyed the writing assignments in your class last semester as well. When I write about something I know about as far as personal experience goes, it makes me feel confortable in my writing.
