Many different opinions arise for the election of Obama v. Romney

Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary by Peter Mucha, Breaking News Desk, Philadelphia Daily News

The main idea of the article is that many people are giving their opinion on the election of 2012 and according to the writer Peter Mucha there were a lot of people who were glad for Obama's reelection, A lot of people who were disappointed that Romney didn't win, and even people who just didn't care at all who won because they didn't agree with either candidate.

Evidence that I have found while reading this is when people were giving their opinions and 1 of them said "I'm a little bit disappointed. I wasn't really happy with either candidate," quoted by Marty Brenna, 49. This is one of the people who would go under the category "So?" Another piece of evidence I have about this article is when someone who'd fall under the "Yay!" category said "I'm thrilled to death, I would never have voted for Romney on women's issues alone," said Barbara Drucker, 61. That piece of evidence showed how some people are actually glad to see Obama in his 2nd term, My final piece of evidence is someone who'd fit in the "Boo!" category as he was ashamed that Romney hadn't got in office, Len Burkhardt, 53 said he would have preferred Romney over Obama because Romney was more of a "businessman" and that Obama is "not as fiscally smart of responsible" according to the article.

In my opinion Obama and Romney had a great debate and both their arguments were persuading but I think Obama was the better man in this election because taking down a terrorist and saving the auto industry really boosted his statistics of winning which I think is a good thing because I would've also liked to have seen Obama in for four more years just as well as anyone else.

This article has helped me to think more about this topic because I'm soon going to be voting in four more years so I'm trying to gather as much information as I can before I myself go out to vote like I said in four more years. The article has also helped me to think more about the topic at hand because even though I already knew that people weren't going to be happy with Obama getting back in office but the article has helped me to get their side of the story just a little and be able to know why they weren't happy with Obama getting back in office.

I don't have a connection that I can make because I do not know how i can relate to this topic as you may have already noticed. I do have a question however and that question is are you happy to see Obama back in office for four more years? or are you mad because Romney never got his "time to shine" in the white house?
