Where is America heading in 2012? (Please respond by Friday, December 16)

For our last blog of 2011, I wanted to end with a question for all of you to think about: What type of year do you see 2012 being for the United States of America? Who do you think will win the race for the White House? Do you think we will be able to lower unemployment and create more jobs over the next year? Will the economy improve? Is it possible for Democrats and Republicans to try and actually work together to get things done? Will there be some type of major event to occur over the next year? Post your honest responses below. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Mission Complete in Iraq? (Please respond by Friday, December 9)

In a recent interview conducted with the TODAY Show, Vice President Joe Biden was asked a variety of questions about the United States withdrawal of troops from Iraq in 2012. After watching the 6 minute video below, my question for all of you is pretty simple: did the United States of America succeed or fail in their mission in Iraq? Do you think the U.S. leaving Iraq in 2012 is a good idea? Do you believe leaving Iraq in 2012 is simply a campaign strategy by the Obama Administration? Please leave your honest opinions.
