Reactions May Vary ...

                There have been so many different reactions on the presidential election. The winner of the election was really no surprise to many, but to some it was far from their expectations. Recently, I have read an article called, “Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary” by Peter Mucha, (Breaking News desk, Philadelphia Daily News) that tells about the different reactions to the reelection for the second term of President Barack Obama.

                The reactions on the reelection of President Barack Obama were priceless. “I’m thrilled to death” said Barbara Drucker, 61, a Collingswood flight attendant. “I would never have voted for Romney on women’s issues alone.” Saving the auto industry and killing Osama bin Laden were key factors that helped the president win four more years”, she said.” This reaction stood out to me because, she was focused on women’s issues, and she also thought about the past achievements that Obama made.

                “I’m not happy”, said Chuck Rihl, 51, of Haddon Heights, in his van outside the Wawa. “I haven’t had a job in over a year.” This reaction also stood out to me because it’s not really President Obama’s fault that he’s been unemployed for so long, maybe he just doesn’t have the skills/education that it takes to get the right job.

                “I knew Barack was going to win,” said Jackie Harrison, 45, of Coatesville, in Center city on her way to her job as a case administrator at bankruptcy court. “I think he’s more trustworthy. He seems more of a people person.” I feel as though she has a point. Barack Obama made a change, and while watching the presidential debate, he actually gave the citizens and congress a chance to ask their questions and make statements while Romney was cutting everyone off, just to get his point across.

                I think that Obama deserved to be reelected as President of the United States of America. He worked very hard in his first term. He made a promise that he wouldn’t be perfect, but giving him a chance was worth it. Since Obama was elected in 2008, much as changed, Osama bin Laden is dead, the auto industry has been saved and Obamacare has taken good affect. I believe that Barack Obama needed this second term.
