In The News # 3

Since in class we are about to being out first project which is based on what someone believes. I think that this particular in the news was a great connection to the project. The first In The News was about the incident of Obama's wife making a comment about how she was proud of her country for the first time. The question is that should voters take into consideration the beliefs of the candidate's family. I think that it is important to think about what the candidates' families believe because as we discussed in class some of our personal beliefs arrive from our family's beliefs. Something like the comment Mrs. Obama made I believe was a misunderstanding therefore I would not really may much attention to what was said.

The second In The News was also about Obama. The overall article was about Obama and McCain going to ground zero and showing respects to those who were lost seven years ago today, they also agree not to campaign today. The question that arose was should Obama not campaign today because he is against the war on terrorism and Bush and McCain are not. In my opinion I think that it is sheer respect for the two candidates to forget about their differences and individual beliefs and opinions and just meet with the families that lost loved ones and act like normal everyday people. I mean yeah McCain can take this day for advantage and say see this is why we need to continue the war and play on the emotions of people but I don't think that would just be disrespecting the people who lost their lives today, their families, and all the troops ans their families. All in all I think that the candidates did a really nice thing today by not being worried about the race to the white house because today is one of if not the saddest day in America's history.
