Current Event- Post 4

• This week my article was from the Washington Post again and was titled “GOP Head Compares Obama to Bin Laden." In this article I read about the head of Virginia's GOP and the words he used to relate Barack Obama to Osama Bin Laden. Jeffrey M. Frederick, the head of VA's GOP, specifically said how both Obama and Bin Laden have friends who bombed the Pentago, referring to a man Obama once knew, Bill Ayers.
  
• To me this accusation seems to be little more than a petty attack at the Democrats and it really has no chance of causing the slightest influence on even the semi-intelligent voters out there. However, the fact that GOP leaders are going around spewing lies only has a negative effect on people’s view of the Republicans. These insults are stupid and pathetic attempts at skewing people’s views in the favor of the Republicans and they help no one, only managing to dirty the respect others have for the American campaigning process. Obama did well in addressing boos from his supporters in one of his recent meetings as being unnecessary and that he would rather have people just go out and vote.
