Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary

Peter Mucha, Breaking News Desk, Philadelphia Daily News


This article, "Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary," is about how certain people feel about Obama being president again. If they feel as though Mitt Romney is going to become president or if Obama is going to serve another four years in the white house. This article is based on peoples thoughts on the election and the candidates. Some people found the candidates disappointing.
"I'm a little bit disappointed. I wasn't really happy with either candidate," said Marty Brenna, 49, from Laurel Springs who is a boilermaker, sitting outside of the Audubon Wawa in his car. "Obama apparently just ran a better campaign, mobilizing high voter turnout," he said.
"I'm not happy," said Chuck Rihl, who is 51, from Haddon Heights. "I haven't had a job in over a year.
Other people weren't amused at all.  There were some people who were annoyed.
Scott, a caller from the morning show "The Big Talker," said that,"People are brainless. They'll believe whatever they're spoonfed." Scott was also annoyed about what he calls media racial bias. "Where's the white guys vote?" he said. "I'm tired of hearing about the black vote, the Latino vote."
"I'm pretty indifferent," said Lisa Pierce, who is 30 and is a medical research coordinator from Conshocken. "Either way, they need to get their act together," said Pierce, who didn't vote.
Others were happy, excited, thrilled about the debates, election, and the candidtates.
"I'm thrilled to death," said Barbara Drucker, who is 61, and a Collingswood flight attendant. "I would never have voted for Romney on women's issues alone."
"Very happy" is how Mary Szybist, who is 43 and of media, described her reaction. "I didn't feel like i got a sense of who Romney was and that i could trust anything he said," Szybist said. "Obama needs to fight hard to fulfill his campaign promises when it come to the economy, funding for education, women's rights and building America."
I feel as though, both candidates did a great job during their campaign. I was on Obama's side and have always been since he first ran for president back in 2008. He's been a great attribute to America and i think that he will continue making the economy, and other things better for the next four years. Romney was only for they upper-class citizens, i fell like. He was only going to enhance and make things better for those who alreadfy have everything and leave those who are not as fortunate behind. I'm so happy that this election went exactly how I hoped, Obama won!

  1. You've got a lot of details from the article here, but I think what you have to say about the election is the most interesting part. I wonder, for instance, why you think Obama would support ordinary people, but Romney would only be for the rich. What gives you that impression? 85
