...students as well. You know what? You’re going to have to bear with me, because I’m the one writing this Endpaper, and if you don’t, you won’t have anything to read and you’ll look unpopular if you’re in the dining hall by yourself right now. BURNED!!!Anywho, I think one of the most important things I’ve picked up here in the 02138, something I’ll carry with me all my life, is how to put a positive...
...addition to diverting the president’s resources, Obama’s permanent campaign marks the abandonment of his election promises to establish bipartisanship. Obama’s rhetoric has consistently put his own ideas in direct conflict with those of Republicans.

There's little support in the public - or within the ranks of the military - for deploying the military in a sustained civil war against the militants. Many in Pakistan were convinced that the Taliban had exceeded their bounds in Buner and Swat and needed to be pushed back - but not necessarily crushed. Whereas U.S. officials warn of the Taliban...
