On Saturday I am going to a tournament to compete in Extemporaneous Speaking. Basically what this requires is a fairly clear idea of the world as it is now, and I was wondering if anyone could give me any major, and broad, topics which you think might appear as a question. They must also be centered around specific recent events. (By recent I mean within the last 2-3 months)

Bad Examps.) Economy, Obama, Healthcare

Good Examps. (dont use these.)) Fort Hood Shooting, Governer Elections, IED's in Iraq

Thanks for the help!
