Affordable Care Act a win its rollout
was plagued with website fails Tecla
jizz and gaffes galore if you like your
plan you can keep your plan if you like
your plan keep your plan if you like
your current insurance you will keep
your current insurance the fact that it
also coincided with a government
shutdown was the icing on the cake
Republicans and Democrats couldn’t agree
on federal spending and a two-week

GOP s who wanted funding to gut the
Obamacare act dysfunction at its finest
fight all the problems in the roll up

Mohamed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood
had been removed from power via a coup
d’etat and the country’s constitution
had been suspended the army has declared
that Mohamed Morsi is no longer the
president though Morsi had been
democratically elected a year earlier a
large portion of the population hailed
his removal even so the country was
thrown into chaos by huge and polarized
protests yet again number 4 pontiff 2.0
when benedict xvi became the first pope
since 1415 to resign that was big enough
but the headlines got bigger when he was
replaced by Pope Francis
this humble Argentinian began using his
office to spread the gospel of
inclusiveness in a more informal way
than his predecessors and while
officially condemning things like
homosexuality and abortion he preaches
compassion for his fellow men the church
they realized that they had come to
something of a crossroads and that they
would have to make a gesture such as
these and again it’s interesting not
only did he say it but how it was said
number three a new Iran not only did
Iran elect a new president and Hassan
rouhani in 2013 the newly elected leader
also promised to repair relations
between Iran and the West he and his
government changed the rhetoric within

the United States and other world powers
about Iran’s nuclear program when it
comes to international relations we
should take new steps in order to
elevate the position of Iran on the
basis of our national interest and do
away with oppressive sanctions in

heads of their respective countries in
30 years signaling a promising change on
the horizon we should accept and be able

will prevail over war number two Syria
sarin and the Civil War the Syrian civil
war was a hot topic again in 2013 as
protesters still hoped to see President
Bashar al-assad rousted from power after
reports of a sarin gas attack in a
Syrian suburb surfaced on August 21st
US President Obama announced his plan to
seek congressional authorization to act
against Syria but intense public outcry
and an apparent lack of evidence stopped
him how can we be sure this isn’t a
repeat of the slam dunk that wasn’t the
claim that Iraq had WMD by year’s end
the war continued to rage but peace
talks were set for January 2014 the
future of Syria now depends upon the
ability of all of us to keep pressure on

stop this violence to listen to the
people and to find a way to move forward
