Obama is in a very tough predicement. He is the first black president and he promised many things where he didn't yet have the knowledge that he does now. I believe that he must stay strong and weigh all the sides of his decisions. He cannot be make hasty decsions that might go right. People have very high expecations that are impossible to live up to,  he needs time to complete the tasks at hand, he is in a hole right now and it will take time for him to dig out of it. 

Everyone, in the eye of the court should not be looked at or considered different. Race should not affect anything in life, including the courts way of looking at you. Although many stereotypes seem to be true, they are not, everyone person has a choice in what they want to be in life. Courts should be more diverse, I think it would better serve a fair decision on those who need them. Let's face it different people have different views, have more diverse views would even out the courts decision. 

Hate crimes are terrible things. At no point in our life or any other person's life, should we commit a hate crime. I believe that making fun or picking on gay's should be considered a hate crime, even it is a choice of the person, nobody should be made fun of because they are different. Imagine if we made fun of a handicap person. Making fun of people may be a part of life, but not to go as far as physically hurting them. Hate crimes against a more diverse set of people should be looked at and fought against. 

eminent domain allows government to seize private property if it is for the good of the public. For example they are able to take a block of houses inorder to build a school or to build hospital. I believe that it is unfair in the first place to take private property even if it does benefit the public. Many people think it is just but it hasn't happened to them and probably never will which is why most don't think twice about it. Now the gov't is taking private property in order to get more tax money, which I believe is not okay and is not within the gov'ts power. It is ridiculous to think that this okay and it should be stopped.
