President Obama addressed the issue of ISIS and the way America was reacting to the situation. He mentioned how we will be dealing with the situation and what the duties of the U.S. army will be in the matter. In this articles we read about the cost of Americas involvement, this would be referring to money and lives. This blog also mentions the fact that there will be a possibility this matter will effect not only this generation, but generations to come. It is yet another article telling the people of the U.S. about America’s involvement in world wide issues.  
This article uses mostly exaggeration which it one of the four satirical techniques that is used in literature. The following sentence is an example of exaggeration used in this article.“Legal scholars noted that the proposal’s language intentionally leaves the door open for a future president to extend the authorization by one or more generations as necessary.” (1) Obviously political scholars do not want this issue to carry onto the next generations, however based on the rate it has been going this matter has a large possibility of caring onto the next generation. However, this article exaggerates the duration of this issue. 

Regardless of the exaggeration, sarcasm and satire used in this article it still states the issues taking place in this country. It may make fun of the situation the matter has found its self and the way the President is addressing the matter, but it is still managing to get a message across.
