Critiquing Andrea Coj

Although I agree with Andrea Coj's message about the Obama administration, her argument is poorly supported and leaves a lot to be desired in the way of references, making it seem like a rough draft rather than a final blog post. Coj's message is that the Obama administration is not as bad as everyone is making it out to be and cites the new immigration executive order as her evidence of this, saying that Obama "secretly working" on this plan makes his administration worthwhile.

Ignoring grammatical errors, her argument is very weak, relying mainly on her experiences only and general statements about what has been happening in the political sphere. Coj also references ebola in what seems to be an afterthought, a point which, having been more developed, could have greatly improved the viability of this piece. Like I said, although I agree with the message that the Obama administration is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be and blame is laid on the president for things out of his control, I do not believe this article would convince anyone who disagreed with her point that this is a viable opinion.
