Google the phrase "Obama Socialism". What do you get? Try google news... what did you find?
When looking up the phrase "Obama Socialism" I found that many people are saying that Obama is turning our country in a socialist country. In an article I found on Spectator and there they were talking about how Obama was being bashed by so many Republicans because they did not want to pay their taxes, but they are paying less taxes with Obama than they were with Bush. "How do these protesters expect to not pay taxes but still enjoy the parks, schools, roads and protection the money from these taxes support?"
People are paying taxes for things that they themselves are using, but they are getting mad about it. it is said that our government has already used some socialist elements in the past,but people are protesting that Obama is turning us into a socialist nation. An article in spectator says that, "Obama's plans may do some to expand the socialist elements of U.S. government, the idea that we're about to become a socialist nation is absurd." If some socialist elements have been used in the U.S Government before , why are people only trying to put the blame on our current president? They should see that he is not the first to try and use this .
Do you feel that the label "socialism" is applied appropriately or correctly to Obama, his proposals or his policies?
Do Obama's proposals or policies have historic precedents in America? If so, what happened in the past?

LITERATURE GROUPS
I like reading a new book, because I have gotten out of the reading process and I really needed to get my reading skills back up. Something that I really like about this was that we took notes on the book, and put them on sticky notes. A lot of times I seem to forget what I read about and having those sticky notes, I am able to look back and check what I have previously read. that is also a way too see, what exactly I think about when I am reading because a lot of the time i seem to get distracted from my reading. I actually found out that I read better when I am taking notes on almost every page, I seem to pay more attention, don't get as distracted. i find that interesting and I am glad that i found that out, I am going to use this process whenever I read a book.
I Guess when we were Planning out the time frame on how much we were going to read and by when, we didn't really think about how some of the chapters were very long, and a lout of the time some people in our group where not able to keep up with the reading and all of the school work we had to do, including me. we were not very well organized with the due dates, we need to think ahead.
The book was about troubled boy by the name Huckleberry Finn. His father is an alcoholic and he abuses Huck sometime, like when he gets drunk he seems to beat him, for little things, and he wants to take charge of Huck. Huck did not like that, so he ran away from this cabin that his dad was keeping him in. On his journey he found his friend, he was a runaway slave. They went on journeys together keeping each others secrets, Huck was suppose to be dead, and Jim had run away. Jim and Huck helped each other survive on islands. They went through struggles, and Huck in the end helps Jim out of jail and proves that he is a free man. They stuck together and helped each other a lot
I hope that we get more time to read the next book.
