Life Through My Eyes
So as I was watching Obama’s first State of the Union Address (SOTU) as president earlier, education was high on my list of things to note. As a college student right now who is planning on pursuing higher education (via law school), it is probably one of the two most important issues (healthcare being the other one) that …
So it’s been two weeks since election day, but i didn’t get a chance to blog about it until now. first, my personal opinion on the results: saying i was disappointed would be quite an understatement. I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: by no means am i a supporter of Corzine. However, i oppose many of …
So as i said in my earlier post from this morning, my project for my ‘Elections and Participation’ course at Rutgers this semester was to predict the voter turnout rate and who will win in Somerset County (and with what proportion). I just submitted our prediction, and we predict a tight race between Christie and …
just a friendly reminder that TOMORROW is Election Day! Don’t forget to vote and remind your friends and family to do the same. Just because it is not a presidential election does not mean it is not important for you to cast your votes! I am definitely interested in what happens in the Governor’s election …
I don’t know how many people get to say that… or when i will ever get the chance to meet even ONE other president, but the last two days have been amazing for someone like me who LOVES politics and who is such a big fan of Barack Obama! by the way, i’m going to …

It’s been a little over a week of summer vacation and i am LOVING the down time. It’s nice not having too constantly stress over deadlines… and these past few days have been a lot of fun especially. This past thursday was shazia’s and zehra’s graduation. because they graduated from different colleges within Rutgers and …
Apparently, it takes a global health scare (swine flu) to get a health and human services secretary because this evening, the senate confirmed Kathleen Sebelius as the health and human services secretary. Earlier, on a different note, veteran Pennsylvania senator Arlen Specter switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party… bringing the democrats one step …
Click here to view the transcript of Obama’s remarks to Congress. Usually, I provide the transcript itself on my blog, it’s LONG. The speech is still going on, but my initial reaction – as I “tweeted” earlier was that: it’s phenomenal to notice the difference in the tone/attitude of everyone in the chamber. It’s so …
First of all, I sincerely hope Senator Ted Kennedy is recovering well with plenty of rest after another repeated episode of a seizure today. Now onto the highlights from today’s events: 1. Bush getting booed/the crowd of over 1.5 million people singing the “Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey, Goodbye” 2. Barack Obama being sworn …
