Obama’s Winning Speech.
By: Adriana
Hey Lions!! Did
you guys hear about Obama being re-elected? Well on Tuesday
November 7, 2012 he was re-elected as President of the United
States. Some people were not happy about the fact that Obama got
re-elected but some were. Obama's speech made people very happy
and proud about the decision that they made of electing him once again
or for the first time. Obama thanked the people of the United
States by the following sentences. "The task of perfecting our
union moves forward. It moves forward because of you. It moves forward
because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and
depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of
despair to the great heights of hope." He also described what
hope meant in his own words, "I have always believed that hope is that
stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the
contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the
courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting."
Obama also made a joke while he thanked the people of the United
States. "I want to thank every American who participated in this
election, whether you voted for the very first time or waited in line
for a very long time. By the way, we have to fix that.
Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you
held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you
made a difference."
I interviewed some people about what they
thought about Obama winning and his speech. Here is how it went.
Patty: I wanted Obama to win because, I need my food stamps. I
eat a lot. Me in a world without food is like living in a world
with no air. Also I don't want to go back to Mexico, and I heard
that Romney was going to ban weaves and I really don't want to see
people without weaves!
Amanda: It's pretty cool how Obama won, and his speech was AMAZING and touching.
While Romney gave Obama a good fight for the Presidential spot, Obama's followers did not back down.
