In “Yay! Boo! So? Reactions to Obama win vary” Peter Mucha
went around the streets of Philadelphia and asks people how they feel about
Obama’s win. Some people were happy about it and some people were ok with it. While
others are mad about it. For example Marty Brenna, 49 year old boilermaker from
Laurel Springs said, “I’m a little bit disappointed. I wasn’t really happy with
either candidate.” “I’m thrilled to death,” said Barbara Drucker, a 61 year old
Collingswood flight attendant. Chuck Rihl of Haddon Heights said that he wasn’t
happy because he hasn’t had a job over a year. Linda Halpern said “I am
physically ill. I am worried, I am worried about Obamacare. I’m worried about
my stocks. I’m worried about unloading three of my properties.” “People want to
be taken care of. They don’t want to work. They don’t want to have a sense of
pride.” Lisa Pierce, 30 year old medical research coordinator said, “I’m pretty
indifferent. Either way, they need to get their act together. I don’t care much
about the elections. I’m happy that Obama won but it doesn’t change who I am. But
if I really, cared I would say that am very happy that Mitt Romney didn’t when because
I feel like he only cares about himself and not about the people who were lead.
Also I’m glad that he didn’t when because he only wrote a speech if he had won.
I totally think that was beyond wrong for doing that. Karma is true and he
deserved it.
This is a good summary and you've included some good quotes, but it would be a stronger post if you had expanded the opinion and commentary sections. For instance, why do you believe that Romney only cares about himself? Also, why do you believe politics doesn't matter? 80
