Olivas, Ashley DNC Assignment Two

1.) In the article Live From Denver: Big Night, I found it interesting that more people believe that John McCain is a more plausible commander-in-chief and would make a better president than Barack Obama. I would have to disagree with that because I think Obama would make a great president even though he might make some stupid mistakes along the way. I agree with all the social issues that are mentioned in the article because there are ways to help protect the people and the United States from unwanted pregnancies and terrorism to help make the world a better place. According to this article, Barack Obama needs to step it up a knotch if he plans on obtaining more votes than McCain. Obama has promised to cut the taxes for everyone, but still plans on staying in the war with Iraq. I agree with cutting down the taxes because it does help but I disagree with Obama wanting to stay in war because I believe that the U.S. has fought long enough and world peace should be spread.
2.) In the article Obama Lands in Denver, I found it mainly focusing on his presidential acceptance speech that would be given at Invesco Field to the entire public concerning his presidency. I agree that Obama will be able to give a fantastic speech this year as he did in the year 2004. Obama is an inspirational person and that's what's caught the attention of many people who got involved in this years political campaign. He should be himself throughout the campaign and see how far it gets him. If Obama is more workmanlike, then he will obtain more votes for this year and be able to show the United States that he truely can run a country as the president. I hope Obama doesn't take his power to far or to seriously in the campaign because then the U.S. might be in trouble. I do wonder what Obama has in store for the world such as helping people in their daily lifes. If Obama wins the elections, the world will see what he can do for us and how he can change the United States.
3.) I haven't been paying much attention to the DNC because I am not a huge fan of politics but I do enjoying seeing who wins the elections each year. Since I am not 18 and not allowed to vote, it doesn't really matter to me. But when I do turn 18 I plan on voting and being more involved in politics. These are the reasons why I'm not that involved.
