Today September 19, 2013 the new operating system for the iPhone came out. It was IOS 7 and it is said to turn your old iPhone into your new iPhone. This operating system is completely different than all of the other operating system updates that apple has come out with. The Huffington Post covers this topic very well and even gives instructions on how to prepare your phone for the update. It also shows some of the new features you can expect when and if you decide to download the update.

The Huffington Post is like a couple of the other sources I have written about thus far it just is a little more liberal than the others that I have covered this far. Those of you who do not know liberals tend to be in more favor toward the Democratic party.

This week John Boehner is trying to push a bill to defund Obamacare. He is trying to cut spending on something that he feels is a “failed health care law.” The bill that Boenher is trying to pass is expected to be be vetoed by President Barack Obama. All of this turmoil is said to have a deadline of Sept. 30th which only gives congress days before it must figure out how to pay for the federal government. John Boehner said on Capitol Hill that, “ defunding President Barack Obama’s health care reform was a key part of that effort.”

The continuing events and discussion of the Syrian attack were spoken about in depth today by President Bashar Assad. He admitted that his country had possessed chemical weapons, but that they would also destroy then. He claims that the process will take about a year and cost the country upward to 1 billion dollars.

I feel these stories apply to most of the individuals living in the United States. Most of these stories are pertinent to the growth and future of this country. The technology will help stimulate the economy with its new ways and then set people up to buy new iPhones starting this week. The national and international events are key to the future of our country, because they determine the well being.

The outlet appeals to me in some ways or another because I look at the stories with an open mind and willing to gain knowledge about the news and issues of this country. I like to learn all sides of the story.
