The article "Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary" talks about the different emotions shared about President Obama's re-election. Different people felt different ways. Some people felt happy, some people felt angry, while others were in the middle.
"I'm a little bit disappointed," Marty Brenna, 49, said, "I wasn't really happy with either candidate." According to Marty, Obama ran a better campaign, therefore his voting turnout was higher.
However, Barbara Drucker, who is 61 says, "I'm thrilled to death. I would never have voted for Romney on women's issues alone." Barbara feels that because Obama killed Osama Bin Laden, and saved the auto industry, that's how he got 4 more years.
"I'm not happy. I haven't had a job in over a year," Chuck Rihl, 51, said. Clearly, he is angry about the entire situation.
"In contrary to what these 3 people said, Lisa Pierce, a 30 year old, says, "I'm pretty indiffernet. Either way, they need to get their act together." Pierce didn't vote, and we can clearly see why. She believes that the politicians are out of touch with the "real-world" issues.
That's just a few of the comments from the article, but most people felt like this. Either they were happy, angry, or they just didn't care for either one of them.
I'm ecstatic about Obama getting 4 more years. I feel that he is trying his best to make a change. The people that are angry about his second term are clearly not understanding. Obama promised change, and we are getting just the change we need. It's just that some people are too blind to see that the world is changing.
Also, I think that people think Barack is a robot that can do multiple things at once. HE IS HUMAN!!!! Change isn't going to come over night, and I think that's where some people think. They think that Obama is supposed to change the world over night. It's going to be hard to do that, because of the president before him. If it weren't for Obama's first election, I think we would all be underwater. However, Obama did his best to change it, and he succeeded.
Is the world perfect, and doesn't need more change? No! But I feel that we can't push all of our problems on Obama. If we want a change, then we need to help him make that change. In his speech, he clearly says "Yes We Can!" That "We" is not just him, Michelle, and the two girls. The "WE" is for all of us. The "WE" is for the United States of America to help Barack Obama make the change we want. So I guess the main question is, "Do we really want change?" Because if we did, then would not be crying and being angry, we would do the little things to help Obama. But the change first starts in us.
