Obama Becoming President
Lucia thinks that Obama did a really good job addressing that the economy is in trouble he didn’t sugarcoat things, which was good, and he is a really good speaker but once more he did not specify on how he will change things.
Lucy liked the way he was honest with the people, he addressed current problems instead of ignoring them, but did not specify how change was going to be made.
Amy thinks that he used powerful words by quoting ‘fathers of the nation’ and it made him seem very powerful like he can get the job done.
Ingrid thinks that he is saying what any other politician would say (what people want/need to hear); it is only a big deal because he is African American. The political party used this to motivate voters. Obama will just be the “African American leading figure” , but he wont really have anything to do with actually leading the country.
Liz really liked the speech and thought that he has potential to make huge changes in the United States.
Clara doesn’t think people shouldn’t make such a big deal about Obama he is just another president and she will not believe anything until she actually sees the change he promises.
Mr. Macmarlin thinks that the change in politics in the U.S. could be a positive thing, (ying and Yang) he thinks he is a good speaker and the things he has outlined, as goals are good but whether or not he can accomplish them is different.
Sofia thinks that even though this really is a historical event, and it is very important, people are giving Obama “too much credit” simply by being African American, he is a great speaker and sometimes that can trick you and make you believe him, but I think people should not get carried away by words, like Clara I think that “ver para creer”
John thinks yesterday was a really important day but he still wants to “wait and see” what will come out of everything.
All together I believe we are all happy and excited to witness this historical event, we realize that it is a big deal that the 44th president of the United States is African American. Apart from that, we do not know if the results of his presidency will be good, some of us are hoping he fulfills their expectations; others that think differently are crossing our fingers so that he proves us wrong. Either way only time will tell.
