In the article Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary by Peter Mucha people agreed and diagreed on Obama's win on being re-elected as President on November 6th, 2012. As some people celebrated and even cried due to Obama's win on the other hand Romney's voters wasn't happy at all about Obama's win. From the article one of Romney's voters Chuck Rihl ,51 of Hadden Heights said "I'm not happy, I haven't had a job in over a year." Another voter said that she is worried about Obamacare , her stocks and other issues.
I think that it was a good decision that Obama was re-elected as President. Only thing is I didn't quite understand what went on when Romney and Obama was having the debate but I did watch it. What I'm saying is if I barely understood what was going on during the debate how could I be happy about Obamo winning? What if he was having some suggestions that I thought were wrong or not quite right? I shouldn't be happy that he is re-elected President because he is African-American that's not a smart reason.
This is why teens around my age might be happy that Obama is President, just because he is African-American that maybe the reason teens around my age aren't allowed to vote. I have watched the debate between Romney and Obama and did hear some good and wrong answers from Obama.
The reason I didn't like any of Romney's answers and the reason he may not have been elected President was for families who need extra help and get food stamps Romney said he would take the food stamps away. Another reason for Romney not being elected was he was going to take away plan parenthood. Where women weren't able to have abortions or birth control pills. Women would have to stick to the baby and raise them theirselves.
Lastly, all I have to say is was this a REALLY GOOD decision that America has choosen? Or was it a mistake for America?
Good post Brinea. It's helpful to hear that even though you watched the debate you found it hard to understand all the issues (even though you're definitely one of my stronger students). That says to me that I--and your other teachers--need to do more work helping students understand all the issues before elections so you can make an educated choice when you are ready to enter the voting booth. 100
