comment on in the news prompt 9/11

the main question was to be how could you support the troops but still stand to america and say that bush is not doing justice as president. Policitics is a crazy business. For you to believe in one thing and lead the country your family should believe in it to. Since you are one unit its best to tackle situations feeling the same other wise you would have a conflict of intrest in the whitehouse. It was wrong of mrs obama to say that to the world because no matter what you should always be proud of your country not ashamed because they werent doing good under your husbands "presidential hand".

A good writing prompt should spark inquiry--questioning of positions and assumptions. Presenting a good writing prompt can be difficult when you choose a polarizing topic such as politics. It's not really about whether or not you stated your view clearly or not, since a writing prompt should be designed to prompt other people to think, not to simply express your own opinion. Taking such a hard line in your prompt leads people to either agree or disagree with you, rather than explore the topic on their own.

Asking good questions is one thing college tries to instill in students; but asking questions at all often means temporarily putting aside your own views on a topic to consider things from multiple perspectives, or to identify what type of evidence someone who disagrees with you would require to change his or her mind.
