Fox News. Fox News writer Chris Stirewalt wrote an article about President Obama and his blue print plans for 2015's fiscal budget on Feburary21, 2014. Mr. Stirewalt believes that the President is only making this proposal to suck up to the liberal party so that he can gain their support. The President didn't seem to care about making this proposal in the past or even pay any mind to it before. But now that he could gain the support of the liberals he is all for it. No matter what side the liberal take the Republicans are not likely to take the presidents side on this issue.
     Although Fox News is generally a conservative news base. I do not believe that Mr. Stirewalt article is written for the conservative people just because Fox News is conservative news base. I believe that Mr. Stirewalt's opinion on this is that he agrees with Republicans. I think that he sees the presidents move as just for show in order to gain the liberals support; not that he really cares about this issue. I believe that Mr. Stirewalt's intended audience is Republicans or people who think like him. He also may be trying to get people who are on the fence about the president to see his point of view. I do think that Mr. Stirewalt has logic for his concern. If the president didn't care about an issue before the liberals made a big deal about it. Why would the president change his mind for no reason. A normal person wouldn't unless they were trying to gain something.

The GOP's debt-ceiling farce.
In this article, there is discussion about our nation's debt and how congress is proposing to hold Washington responsible for their spending. Although Congress has many ideas on how they plan to achieve this, our two political parties can not seem to agree on a bill to fix it. Leaving our nation in a standstill. Both parties want to blame one another about who's at fault. Really I think that both parties need to grow up and remember who they are truly hurting. The American People! So far they have attacked retired veteran's benefits after they have already retired. Now the Republicans are talking about tying the repair of the debt ceiling with the repeal of The Affordable Care Act. Either way that congress votes on this issue, the American people "the little guys" are paying the ultimate price. Fixing the ceiling means higher taxes, mortgage rates increasing, and problems with the stock market. If only Congress remembered the average American when making their decisions.
