1) "A Tale of Two Conventions" by Jill Abramson kind of made me mad. I think that the people voting need to disregard Hilary Clinton and realize that she is not the Democratic candidate for the elections in November. People need to move on and start listening more to Obama and make the right choice for president, without taking into consideration Clinton because she really is not even apart of the electon anymore.
2) "Jackson: With Obama, More Racial Barriers Fall" by Peter Steveson depicts that since Obama is the first ever African American candidate for President, equality amongst races is being created in America. I find this really interesting. I have to agree with Jackson because in America today, racial stereotyping and racial remarks are still made even though our country is considered to be full of equals, regardless of race and gender. I hope that since Obama has been elected as the Democratic Candidate for the 2008 election, race will become less of something to diversify people by and for everyone to accept each other for who they are.
3) I have watched the DNC quite frequently this week. I have seen the speeches presented by Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. I have paid attention because I think it is interesting to see their perspectives of the past years and how they are going to change America in the future, and since I will be around for the future, I want to know what I should be expecting. And even though I won't be able to vote in the 2008 election, I think it is worth knowing what a possible leader of your country wants to change and do during their term as president of the United States.
