Obama Supporters Show True Colors...Not Green

Sprucing up our front yard
THE WASHINGTON POST

This was an editorial from the Washing Post, found on the Austin American Statesman website, about the deterioration of the Mall. Obama's inauguration only further brought to light the state of the Mall, and millions of dollars are in consideration to renew the look of the Mall. I thought this was a good editorial, short and sweet. However, I think it should have condemned more the people who left tons of trash on America's front lawn. So much for Obama supporters being "green. As far as the editorials format. I thought it was easy to read and understand; starting with a statement followed by an Obama quote. Then the editorials opinion with supporting background information for the argument. And then ending with a line that worked well as the title of the piece. Well done.

  1. Your evaluation was nicely done. (Watch the GSP on possessive for editorial.) I like the way the editorial ended.
