Thursday Curent Events
Friday morning, Tiger woods took out a fire hydrant and crashed into a tree while driving his Cadillac SUV out of his driveway.
President Barack Obama is hoping Europe will muster 10,000 soldiers for his surge. Obama is going to send 30,000 in the next six months. He had his speech at the US Military Academy at West Point Tuesday night. The first waves of Marines are expected to arrive by Christmas, with the rest coming by summer.
GM Chairman Ed Whitacre became chief executive officer Tuesday and sent a message that more changes are ahead for the automaker that already has been through a government-backed bankruptcy this year. The decision came after Gm said that Fritz Henderson, named GEO in March when the Obama administration Ousted Rick Wagoner, resigned Tuesday.
The man who killed four officers was found after a two-day search, a Seattle officer found the alleged gunman near a disabled vehicle. This occurred in Seattle.
The body of one slain Lakewood officer is transferred to the Mountain View Funeral home. While the suspect in the deaths was killed yesterday, authorities said other people could be charged.
Democrat Bennie Thompson said that it could have been horror at the white house but instead the couple, the Salahis, just came in uninvited. They also hobnobbed with the President of the United States, threw arms around the Vice President, and sauntered into the spotlight.
