The earthquake and tsunami was a bad story to me.
Hands down,the tragedies were the top stories for me. Its just awful and sickening how much death and devastation was caused due to the natural disasters. And honestly I don't think the death of Osama was that big for the simple fact that I am one that needs proof...and the President coming on the TV or radio and saying 'yep,we got him and then dumped his body is the ocean' just isn't enough for me. But the troops comin home...AWESOME!! just sayin...
Since I am from the disaster area and my parents still live there, I have to say Tsunami was the biggest tragedy for me. I was crying everyday until I was able to contact my parents.
The biggest story of the past year is Obama's continuing effort to destroy America...both the economy and the nationa as a whole.
I think Osama Bin Laden's death was the best news event and the tsunami was the most tragic.
