Here are some personal opinions on parts of Barack’s plan for the economy. As a graduate student, the idea of having my tax dollars going to bail out irresponsible executives is haunting. I will have enough debt to pay back after graduation, and instead of allowing the economic dire straights looming on the horizon under the current administration realize, I would prefer to finish my studies and then enter a more opportune job market. Bipartisan oversight of the plan to fix our current economic crisis is something that I imagine everyone would fully support. The economy (and all its cute ups and downs) has a fear-reaching effect which touches us as a nation collectively; each of us is impacted the same way, with no special consideration for status as members of particular political parties. As such, it can only be responsible to approach oversight of the matter with as little politicizing as possible.

Oh, last Thursday a classmate was referencing a hypothetical and used the verb “motorboating.” I laughed hard for a little while and noticed that I was the only one really snickering. Could the rest of the class really have missed out on the cinematic splendor that was Wedding Crashers? No, probably not… the reason I was the only one to laugh was more likely because I’m actually a law student with the sense of humor of a 14 year-old junior high student.
