election reflection

The image “http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/images/photo/2008/11/05/11052008_Accept/25698837.JPG” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. yesterday Barack Obama was elected president of the united states. now history teachers have a page to add in the history books. millions of people wacthed as Obama won the most important job in the world. my prediction for the next election is he might be picked again. I'm a john McCain supporter and wanted him to be the president. but yesterday i seen that Barack Obama is really loved by the people. the reason why i think this is the most historic election is that Barack Obama is African American and no African Americans have been elected as presidents of the united states. but from yesterdays results you can see lots of people don't care about race they care about the big issues these years. i think john McCain should have won but Barack Obama might do a pretty good job as president of the united states of America. he has good results for issues like health care. and taxes. yesterday i was surprised with Pennsylvania and Virginia also Florida and Ohio. those states were meant to be red states. and Florida was the state that made gorge bush in the past election win. that state made him the president of the united states.

Jesus i like how you talked about the issues and how even though you went for McCain you except Obama's victory in making history.

Hi Jesus,

I have a couple of remarks for you. First, it takes a lot of courage to support an unpopular candidate. 96 % of the 8th graders voted for Obama in a secret ballot, so that means that your candidate was in the minority. Good for you for not giving in to popular opinion!

Second, I commend you for keeping an open mind about President-Elect Obama. As he said in his speech, he heard the voice of the people who didn't vote for him (such as you). Hopefully, he will be able to be the President of all of the people.

Keep Blogging!
