I think it is. Kids wait all year to get candy and somebody just wants to give them a letter. That's not a good self esteem on the kids. Yes, it is her right, but its still not fair to the children to get a letter on Halloween.

Assignment 10-30

139475 600 Obamacare website trouble cartoons
Cartoon 1: This shows how Obama care is a joke. I think people should be provided with a healthcare of their own decision. The president shouldn't decide what healthcare people are required to have.



139473 600 Obamacare Disaster cartoons

Cartoon 2. This shows how Obama's healthcare plan will be a disaster. He plans to fine anybody that doesn't get healthcare. Not everybody in our nation has enough money to afford healthcare. People have a hard enough time already.

139454 600 On to the Next Debt Limit cartoons



Cartoon 3. It shows the congress running from the debt line we have recently had. They are heading towards the next debt limit in the cartoon. While the us economy falls deeper into debt. Its referenced by the boxes falling from the trailer into the deep hole.




139472 600 Darth Obama cartoons

Cartoon 4: It shows how Obama originally planned to let people keep the healthcare they had if they liked it. Then after it was passed, he made it mandatory that all American's get the same health insurance with the same company. He took back what he told everybody.

139263 600 Obamacare Down cartoons




Cartoon 5: It shows how the Obama care website is always down and how nobody can get health insurance. When the other person just wants to put an end to the health care requirement and let people live the way they want. If they don't want healthcare, they shouldn't be required to have it in my opinion.

They need to monitor the social media sites more and take care of bullying in a better way.
