Summary:

Sandy was one of the greatest storm in USA, which crashed into homes and trees. It reached from the Appalachians to the Great Lakes and beyond to Canada,It also triggered winter storm warnings from the mountains of Pennsylvania to those of Eastern Tennessee and North Carolina. Because it was very large and big, it influenced a wide range of America region. Many states was destroyed by Sandy- Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland,  Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and so on. They each had different damages and victims. Therefore, the trial for restoration system is all different to every states. Especially, for New Jersey, which had most damages, Sandy has killed at least six people. President Barack Obama said he will travel to New Jersey to join government in viewing widespread damage, Also New York City's Office of Emergency Management on Twitter called on residents to report imposters posing as power company employees, reminding them to look for identification cards.

Opinion:
Each state had all different damages and victims. Therefore, it needs all different restoration system to every states. If the federal government serves all different restoration system, it would be very unfair welfare. Since they have different damages, each state should have all different systems, too. I hope all the states would restore their areas well .

Ahn Cheol-soo withdraws his presidential bid

Endorses Moon Jae-in as the liberal candidate after protracted negotiation
안철수 사퇴…긴박했던 하루 살펴보니

Nov 24,2012

Independent candidate Ahn Cheol-soo announces he will withdraw his bid for presidential candidacy yesterday at a press conference at his campaign office in Gongpyeong-dong, central Seoul. [NEWSIS] Summary:Almost two weeks have passed since Ahn Cheol-soo withdrew his presidential bid. On November 24, Independent candidate Ahn Cheol-soo announced that he will withdraw his bid for presidential candidacy. As candidate Moon and Ahn started negotiating about unifying the candidate into one, they struggled to reach a satisfying agreement. Ahn said “The method for the merger should meet the people’s expectation. However, Moon and I couldn’t narrow down our differences. My last proposal couldn’t lead to an agreement.” But he stated that he will still continue his will for changing Korean administration without any title. It came to a very big shock to candidates, and of course to the people. It is because he was applauded and supported by people because of his achievements and characteristics. He always emphasized people’s upright personality than anything.   Opinion: Ahn’s resignation showed the people’s disappointments with the existing political parties. Those who are responsible for creating a reliable social structure were hurting and betraying the citizens. Now it is time for a turnaround. Recent political parties are more concerned with winning political power than serving the people, and winning the presidential election rather than serving future interests of the country. These days we need a president with a new vision. We do not want presidents who are just busy attacking each other. Next time, I hope we would have a more structured and caring president. And I also want to appreciate to Ahn Cheol-soo for causing a change in the dynamics of the election with only existence.
