In the article "Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win
vary" is about how voters and non-voters felt about Barrack Obama beating
Mitt Romney and becoming president of the United States for four more years.
Most the people in the article were unhappy about Obama
winning or didn't care who won but as you know there was people who was happy
that Obama won. Chuck Rhil age 51 said "I'm not happy; I haven't had a job
in over a year." Some people are worried about Obama winning because
claims of empty promises, Obama care, and the Economy.
61 year old flight attendant Barbara Drucker says "I'm
thrilled to death" and "I would never have voted for Romney on
women's issues alone." Most voters were unhappy with Romney's opposition
to funding for Planned Parenthood and PBS.
The undecided non-voters played a big part of this election
too. Lisa Pierce, 30, a medical research coordinator said "Either way,
they need to get their act together," and politicians are out of touch with
"real life, real world" issues.
I'm happy Obama won, the first black president to be
re-elected. Things personally don't really change to me no matter who's
elected, if it do I just don't notice it. The main things presidents focus on
is taxes, economy, and health care. I don't pay taxes, I'm not working, and
other countries have free health and do fine so I don't know why America don't.
I do think things would have changed if Romney won but not much.
Good post Dion. Keep in mind though that you will be 19 in 4 years and you may be looking for a job, so it's quite possible that whoever is in charge of the economy will affect you. Furthermore, the decisions presidents make now tend to last well into the future. 95
