President Obama Second Term

President Obama is back in the White House and has lots of work to do. During his election speech Tuesday night, he declared that he would work with both the Republican and Demorcratic party to resolve the issues with increases in taxes, education improvement and national growth. President Obama plans on replacing the members in the cabinet.  New York Times stated, " Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner long ago said they would depart after the first term, and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, previously the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, has signaled that he wants to return to California in the coming year. Also expected to depart is David Plouffe, one of the president’s closest confidants. I believe this drastic change with the members of the cabinet could make a difference in our society. Maybe that is what exactly what this country needs, a change. Obama plans on changing not only the cabinet but his inner circle as well. One of his main officials, Jacob Lew, is said to become the next Treasury Secretary. There also has been talk in bringing in Republican and business executives to help rebuild both parties. I believe the change in political power will be a guide for the future goals. I trust Obama to do the right thing for our country and if he feels that change in political seating is what our country needs then I am all in. 

Colorado, Washington Become First States to Legalize Recreational Marijuana - ABC News

Colorado, Washington Become First States to Legalize Recreational Marijuana - ABC News

Last Tuesday the new 64th Amendment passed in Colorado, which legalizes marijuana for recreational use. Governor John Hickenlooper was against the proposal, but realized that it was best for the people.  He stated, “ the voters have spoken and we have to respect their wishes.” Colorado being declared the first state to legalize marijuana, is a huge step in the progress of legalizing weed in the United States. The amount of marijuana in the underground market projects to about 3.5 billion dollars according to NBC news.

Even though Colorado is the first official state in the United States to legalize weed, the state patrol has developed and organized an non-tolerance rule against the exporting, distributing, and growing of the plant. The new law will have some benefits as well. The happy-go-lucky marijuana smokers from California and other western states will sure be traveling over to Colorado to smoke. The taxation on marijuana will also bring in addition revenue and possibly eliminate underground sales. I believe this law is great for many reason. For one, many people who are smokers will not have to hide in the closet. People will not have to face the cruel stereotype of being a marijuana smoker.  Another reason why it is beneficial is because many states will lean towards legalizing marijuana in the future if the transition shows positive gain to the economy.
