DISCUSSION 3: USA ELECTIONS

The group of 2nd B has worked on this topic. Here you find some of the ideas that have come out in class. Please, write a comment with your opinion. Remember that we are working for and against points of view, so give arguments supporting one of the sides.

- McCain is republican and Obama, democrat.
- Who will win the elections?
- We think that it will be Obama.
- Vice-presidents: Sarah Palin and Joe Biden.
- Hillary Clinton should have been elected as vicepresident.
- They may be equal in the elections though Obama will win.
- Obama’s race can make a difference in electors. It depends on society, in
the sense that people can see it as an advantage or a disadvantage.
- A president with cancer can be a problem if his health is not good. But this
risk is true for Obama as well (terrorist attacks, for instance)
- All the people that have tried to change the point of view have been killed
– john f. kennedy, martin Luther King- .
- We think that someone will try to kill Obama.
- People have criticised the fact that Palin’s seventeen-year-old daughter is
pregnant.
- Attacks are very personal throughout the campaign.
- Candidates are apart from the current politics, and people vote the person,
not the political party.
- Obama hasn’t talked about death penalty, because it will make him to lose
votes, but it would be nice to hear it.
- He has promised to follow the Kyoto treat and to retire Irak troops, and
have conversations with Cuban government. Support to Israel will not be so
high against Palestine (theory)
- Immigrants’ issue: Obama will not be so hard on them.
- Crisis: intervention of government is good, at least for the moment being.
- Crisis will damage McCain because his party supports Bush decisions.
- Obama will include Zapatero in his visits to other prime ministers, so that
would help to improve US-Spain relationships.
- Obama should implement national health, as we have and regulate guns in
a better way.

We also think about the elections that Obama can win.
In USA there are a lot of people with different race and Obama has more possibilities to win the votes of these people.
We believe that having cancer is not an inconvenient to be a president.
Nowadays, we ought to respect the different candidates who will be elected and they shouldn't kill them.

Nowadays we can't ignore the elections around the world because is something stupid think that problems about another country doesn't damage us.
We think that if McCain wins the election it will be a disaster for the world because his political sistem is quite similar as Bush.
Obama is better than Mccain he respects the kyoto treat, he will take the troups out off Irak and that is very positive because we are fed up of watching and listenings every day violence in irak.

In conclusion, it will be a long step for the humanity in progress if Obama wins and even for the evolution of the equal rigths for black people, because he would be the first black president of United States of America.

I think that Obama will win the elections because his ideas seems that are better than the Mc Cain ideas. His ideas respect the human rides and he search the best of the USA habitants, no the best for him.
McCain can be lose votes because he is republican as Bush, and Bush don't try good his decisions in the past. It seems that McCain politics don't are more radical than bush politics.
Other thing that can be lose votes to McCain is that he has a cancer.
I think that if Obama is the president the world will improve.

We think that Obama will win the USA elections because he defends equal rights. He will also follow the Kyoto treat, and he will retire the Irak troops.We don't believe that Mc Cain won't win the elections because he has a politic like Bush. The crisis damage the two candidates because they have to overcome all the troubles that Bush has caused.

Nowadays, the elections in United States is very disputed, the candidates do campaingns to be the closen ones to the president's position.
Some citizens still do not know to that candidate to give his wineskin since both candidates is very prepared to be presidents.
Personally, I belive that the new president of USA should be Obama, because he is young, he has very clear ideas and he is black.

I think that EUA needs a radical change. Until now the Bush government has spent the money of the state whit the armament of the war. He has'nt inverted anything for the poor people. And this is a very important problem because if you don't inverted for the countries your people can suffer very much. For example this has happened to Bush and now he has lost many followers.If we think that the majority of the country is black, Obama has many possibilities for win. Also, I think that if Obama win this will be a great step in EUA's history, because he will be the first black president.

hello! We think that Obama will win the elections of USA. A lot of people, famous or not, support him. He's more popular than McCain. If we were American, we would vote for Obama. And if Obama wins, a lot of things will change in his country. American people is tired of republicans. In the other hand, is the matter of vicepresident. Sarah Palin is better than Joe Biden. For Spain, is better Obama's victory, because Spanish-American relationships would be better. McCain prefers to be in war, and on the contrary, Obama want the peace. Most of inmigrants will vote him. In cause of the economic crisis, people want a change, and support Obama because is democrat. For all this reason, Barack Obama will be the United States president.

ANARQUIA!! DOVAL FOR PRESIDENT OF THE USA! HE IS AUTENTIC BLACK PRESIDENT!

I think that Obama will win the elections because he is the president that USA need. USA is the more pollution country, it only produces the 25% of global pollution. If Obama win McCain he is going to accept the kioto trate, and other thing very important is that Obama is black, and winning the USA elections is a way to solve the problem of the racism.
