Obama Defends Syrian Refugee Screenings

Syrian Refugees On Way to US

Obama is fighting his Syrian Refugee program with saying that each refugee goes through a vigorous screening process before even allowed into the US. First applications are reviewed, then each applicant is interviewed, and then another intense review is done including multiple background checks and biological mapping. What Obama is trying to say is that what he is doing is safe and that it needs to continue happening.

Newest Republican Presidential Poll

Donald Trump

In the most resent poll it seems that Donald Trump has gaining back his voters and Ben Carson has lost his. Donald Trump is in the lead again but the spot for second place is currently being fought after by Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio. This might have to do with the Syrian Refugee situation that Donald Trump has voiced his opinions on very loudly as well as other things. Now the race is getting quite close and interesting.

Obama and the Islamic State

Obama Speaking about Islamic State

President Obama recently came out to say that the U.S. is going to do nothing in the "fight against the Islamic State". He believes that the group will be taken out without us as long as the world stops thinking about it as the "new normal". The recent attack on Paris has started a debate on if the U.S. should continue with the invitation of Syrian Refugees into our country. It will be interesting to see how the President continues to handle this time.

The republic consists of a Prime Minister (minister to parliament) which is the head of the government and is picked by the President, a Minister, and a Secretary of State. France has a "multi-party political system"and is also has a sample of political factionalism. Throughout most of France's time their government has been between the on the left led by the Socialist party and the centre- right led by the Republicans. It is hard to have anything other than these two parties rule because they are so powerful. As of now France is governed by the Socialist Party. There are four main categories of French political parties: On the Right, Centre Right, Centre, On the Left and there are about 35 parties all together that make up these categories.

Fourth GOP Debate

Fourth GOP Debate

The 4th GOP debate is being described as "awkward". Donald Trump came back into action with his ideas and views on immigration which caused a stir between him and John Kasich. Bush did better in this debate and showed more of his campaign than we have seen in a long time. Everyone had an opinion on the immigration topic and jumped in even when not asked. Hilary Clinton was also a name brought up many times in a negative way. After this debate it will be interesting to see where the polls go.
