  • Page 3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN August 7, 2009 NEWS By Adam Crisp WC Intern As of July 20, 2009, President Barack Obama had been in office for 180 days. While most presidents 180 days doesnt seem like enough time to start assessing their presidency, in our present time of massive unemployment and a weak economy, our elected officials are undergoing extreme scrutiny over what they are doing to fix our nations problems. While issues that the Obama administration has been spearheading thus far, such as healthcare and the government bailout are currently hot topics, only the future will tell their fates. With that in mind, The Sz. Petersburg Times' Pulitzer Prize winning website Politfact.com has been keeping up with statements and promises given by President Obama and other top government officials, and rating them on a scale that goes from Promise Kept, Compromise, Promise Broken, Stalled, In the Works, and No Action. As of July 20 at 3:40pm Eastern Standard Time, President Obama had kept 32 promises, made 10 compromises, broken 7 promises, has had 12 promises stalled, 78 of his promises are in the works, and 376-promises are in the No Action category. Among the promises kept are establishing a credit card bill of rights set on ending predatory actions on credit card debt, and a homeowner foreclosure prevention fund which is a fund helping homeowners refinance or, resale their homes while it purports, The Fund will not help speculators, people who bought vacation homes or people who falsely represented Truth, Lies, and Compromises: The Obama Administration Thus Far their incomes. Obama also kept his promise on a pullout from Iraq on June 11 which leaves only a minimal amount of troops to help and advise the local police and military. The Presidents plan for completely getting rid of the capital gains tax on small and startup business: Instead of excluding 50% of their gain (profit made) they can now exclude 75%. Also compromised Police Violence and Voting Fraud By Adam Crisp WC Intern While American officials still contend that their pledge to negotiate with Iran over nuclear arms still stands, recent Iranian unrest has complicated the matter. Since June 12, the country has been embroiled in protests and police violence over the alleged voting fraud. On June 23, opposition leader Mir-Hossein Mousavi praised the protesters for being a catalyst of change. He also said that he was going to create his own party that will, ...lay the groundwork, for a large-scale social movement. Other high-level government clerics have also spoken out against the election results. One cleric has issued a fatwa, which is a non- binding religious opinion, stating that people and government officials should not show up for President Ahmadinejads inauguration, The franian protests have also sparked worldwide protests supporting both the opposition and expanding freedoms inside the country. United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a speech on the June 22, stated that that the United ~ States might prepare a defense umbrella around its allies in preparation from an Iranian nuclear missile. This came almost the same time that the head of the Russian nuclear agency announced that Irans nuclear power plant should be ready by the end of this year. - Adding to the increasing tension is the Israeli government who is wortied that the failures of the anti-missile system called Arrow shows that the US is in no position to create any such umbrella, although Clinton also referred to arming allies that surround the region. . lf we do even more to support the military capacity of those in the gulf... [Iran] wont be able to intimidate or dominate... once they haveanuclear weapon. Clinton said. The designers of Arrow say that the tests have been mostly positive and there is no reason to count the system out and despite the tough talk and warning of sanctions, Iran still claims that its nuclear program is completely peaceful. In another sign that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeinis power is fading, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refused to ask his appointed vice president to step down, after being told to do so by Khamenei. This has left the conservative party in unsure footing, and even more people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon. Meanwhile, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and _ President Ahmadinejad oppose any protests. Police. with batons and tear gas swiftly deal them with, even though the protesters aim has been to be | non-violent. No one is sure what is going to happen with the Iranian situation, but since Hillary _ Clintons remarks, it is clear that while the Obama administration is open for negotiation, they are definitely preparing for the worst. investors was revised! - Blaskowski | Tracy Kirchmann (WCU Sculpture was the tax credit that was supposed. to cover the first $4,000 of public or community education costs. The rate that passed was $2,500, $700 over the old tax credit. Completely left off any agenda has been the promise to end the taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 a year: Also nowhere to be seen are the promises to wait five days to allow for public comment before uns bills, aime for lobbyists, recognizing Turkeys attempt to commit genocide against Armenians starting in 1915, and the negotiating of healthcare reform live on C-SPAN. Obamas idea of enforcing pay- as-you-go , which would require spending or tax chang funded by Budget cuts new revenue, has been met wil indifference by congress putting it into the Stailed eee Also under the category is the old campaign promise to shut down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center, which was met by opposition from both sides of the aisle, finding ap alternative to former President Bushs Military Commissions Act for detainees, and repealing the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy. Issues including environmental and labor standards in trade deals with other nations, ending tax loopholes in CEO pay, and establishing a small business initiative for rural areas, and ending no-bid contracts over $25,000 have yet to be addressed. On: Factcheck.coms Truth-O- Meter Obama scores 58 True statements to 28 False statements as well as 3 Pants on Fire statements. The three Pants of Fire statements are campaign statements. One statement claims that America has one of the largest Muslim populations in the nation; while the other two are about Johfi McCain either supporting Rush Limbaughs immigration ideas and McCains ads being 100% negative: Other false comments by our Congressional _ leadership include Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, claiming that Democrats spent more in one month than Bush spent in seven years on Iraq, Afghanistan, and Katrina (a detailed explanation is included), Leader of the House Republicans _ John Boehner saying that in Washington, NC stimulus money was used to hire an employee whos job it is to find more stimulus money (she was not hired with stimulus money), and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosis famous comment { she wasgfiever inform: terboardiig, and other ent interrogation, methods were used to combat detainees. dee e Jackson Green Energy Park - Metal Pour: By Sarah Bonner Contributing Writer The Jackson County Green Energy Park (JCGEP) is operating the first art foundry that is fueled by landfill methane in the world.
