As Obama prepares to work with the new Republican majority in the U.S. House this January, a new CNN Poll of Polls indicates that the public is split over his handling of duties in the White House. Overall, 47 percent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling his job and 48 percent disapprove, according to the Poll of Polls which was compiled and released on Friday.

Politics as usual. Everything and everyone is always split on issues in America and how are president is doing. Dont get me wrong here i mean its great to have an opinion on what goes on this country but it seems to they way the things are run and the way of thinking by most people is flawed. Nothing every gets done in this country these days. When ever something is done people either criticize it or go with with based on the things they are told by the media. This particular story has to with political parties because this is a perfect example of two major parties fighting each other. And yes i am speculating that majority of the people who took this poll were either a Democrat or a Republican. But this is how the country is run a power struggle between to factions to get what they want done...im not sure if its funny or ironic that the opposite usually happens.

Californian voters make two verdicts on marijuana taxations on the U.S. Election Day. When they defeated a statewide measure for taxing marijuana’s recreational usage, the same voters allowed taxation of marijuana for medical uses in local bodies.

It seems that voters have intelligibly applied their right in the case of marijuana in California. Proposition 19, the ballot measure to legalize or tax recreational and personal usage of marijuana was rejected by voters for 56 percent over 44 percent in the elections.

In the same time, people in local levels, voted and succeeded proposals to tax medical marijuana. Thus nine California cities got their marijuana measures legalized in this election. It was previously analyzed that Prop 19 was failed in the state due to lesser participation of young people in elections. Actually youngsters between 21 and 29 are the actual demanders of such a measure.

The 2010 elections have been a bitter sweet thing for me. I am quite happy that Jerry brown won govenor but either way he is was the lesser evil. I could care less about any of the props besides 19 because it would of changed California for the better, granted it was poorly written. It also makes me disappointed that many young voters didn't vote.
