Yay! Boo! So!

In the article “Yay! Boo! So! ? Reaction to Obama win” is about a reporter from the Philadelphia Daily news named Peter Mucha had went around Philadelphia. Asking random people on the streets about what they thought about President Obama winning. Some what was ok with him winning, some was happy about him winning, and some was outrage about him winning.

For example in the article it had stated, “I’m thrilled to death,” said Barbara Drucker,61, a Collingswood flight attendant. Another quote from the text is, “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.” Another quote from the text “I knew Barack was going to win,” said Jackie Harrison, 45 of Coatesville, in center city on her was to her job as a case administrator at bankruptcy court. “I think he’s more trustworthy. He seems more of a person.” My last quote from the text , “I think the storm put him over the edge,” said Len Burkhardt. These are the reasons why the article was based on mixed feels from random people on the streets about the elections.

I’m happy Obama won because he made president again, and also because he’s going down in history again for being the first black president to be elected back into the white house. I’m also happy because he seem like he really want to fix the economic and he is really about making a better living for the lower, upper, and middle class. But especially the lower and middle class. With Romney I wasn’t sure what his points really was and he was trying to take away family planning, and I think he should make them type of choices for women. I’m also glad Romney didn’t win because at the elections that night when he had to give his speech he going to say he only wrote one speech because he thought he was going to win, which he didn’t he had to give a loser speech. Like how he know he was going to win the election. He was to cocky for me.

Did these people Peter interviewed, did they even vote? What made Peter really care to do an article on this topic? How did Peter feel about Obama winning the election? Who did Peter vote for?
