Current+Event+2

Current Event 2 (1) This article mainly talks about repaying the victoms of the Gulf oil spill. It says that they will pay them twice the amount of their 2010 losses, in exchange for none of them pursuing law suits or filing complaints against them. With a few exceptions, most everyone will be recieving that paricular amount. Others, depending on damage, get 4 times the amount, or some smaller than normal. i didnt feel like the company truly wanted to help the people effected by the oil spill. While what they're doing is the right thing to do, I cant help but notice that they ar emost likely doing it for completely wrong reasons. It seems to me, that they are just trying to hush everyone up and sweep this issue under the rug. BP is too big of a company to really care about the people they have effected.

Current Event 2 (2) This article talks about the meeting at the white house recently to discuss the new program called "Startup America". They discussed the importance of entreprenuership in our world today and wanted to help and encourage people to become entreprenuers. The writer of the article seemed very skeptical, as am I. Is Obama actually trying to help and encourage, or is this a ploy to get good publicity? I'm still not sure, but since I like to consider myself an entreprenuer, i seriously don't mind the extra help.
