Goldberg: Obama wears a white hat

"Weirdest Friday news dump ever." Jonah Goldberg starts his persuasive news article with a bang. The article "Obama wears a white hat" (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-goldberg-uganda-20111018,0,6224886.column) primarily focuses on Obama's decision to send one hundred American Special Forces troops to Uganda to combat the Lord's Resistance Army of Uganda. The LRA, led by Joseph Kony, is a terrorist cell that has been plaguing central Africa for decades. Goldberg centers his argument on how hurried and out-of-place this news was when accompanied with the 2011 deficit and Obamacare corrections. Is Obama following Bush's foreign policy? Goldberg makes the argument that no, sometimes...."[the]cowboy does what he has to do on the grounds that some men just need killing." Goldberg does an excellent job arguing and explaining his main points. He pulls in supporting articles while answering possible counterarguments at the same time. His tone and style fit his position perfectly and complement his argument as a whole while giving his audience enough background to understand the news flash.
