The Boston bombing last week at a marathon has raised many questions about the safety of America, and posed the question of who is behind this deadly act of terror? A U.S. government source said Monday, "no international terrorist groups were behind them", which leads many to believe they could have worked alone. This also leads many to believe that the government is lying to the public about the current situation. I believe many feel that the boys may have been backed by a terrorist organization, but the remaining boy will not admit to this theory if it is true. Investigators have been asking Tsarnaev if there were,"more bombs, explosives caches or weapons", and he has replied and said there were not. The people of the world may just view the bombing as a one time radical event that was relatively small scale compared to others now that they know there were no more explosives involved. I could also be wrong, for there are many people in the world who will connect with this text in some way and say that there are likely going to be more attacks but only time can tell.

Time to Buckle Down
Now more than ever is the time for president Obama to step up to the plate and take a swing at large issues in American politics, to get everything done that he wishes to accomplish it must all work smoothly and without problem. CNN's Gloria Borger states, "here we are: gun control, immigration reform and the budget -- all front and center, right now". The budget is by far the most important item on the agenda, therefore it drags other items along and is not stopped by smaller bills but simply by vote. Since the democrats seem to gain the minority vote they would like to provide more programs for immigrants that would wish to be Citizen's. Later on in the article the CNN worker stated, "It doesn't solve our problem with Latino voters by itself, but it helps." By giving the immigrants voting power it will strengthen the Democratic Party to some extent, which I believe is exactly why Obama and many others are for the new bills which make citizenship easier to obtain. Lastly the gun bill is almost unworthy of being mentioned, almost 90% of people agree with the background checks before the purchase and sale. In comparison with the side effects of the budget agreements that have not been met the gun issue looks relatively small, but don't count it out.
