The results for the 2008 presidential election came out and our new president is Barak Obama. Here are some pictures of him winning. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/11/04/us/05campaign1050_600.JPG ^Picture
Some of the California props that passed were 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12. The way I felt when Obama won was excitment and happiness. The prop that I was upset that passed was prop 8 which was on same sex marriage. I know some people who are gay and they were upset that it passed because what gives us the right to tell gay people if they can marry or not. The way I see it is what they do shouldn't matter to us because you don't see them saying straight people can't marry. It was a dumb prop that passed and I was upset that it did. I hope that there will be another prop to rebuttle it. I'm pretty sure America was happy about Obama winning because we really did need a change. Under the hands of the Republicans, the United States has been under deep boo boo for the past 8 years, starting with the 9/11 attack and now the economic crisis. I'm sure people all around America is really happy with how things went with the election. I learned that democracy can work sometimes and in this election, it showed that it did. Most people wanted Obama, and they got him. I know that the American people were also getting sick of the Republican and how they were running things, I've learned that they can also be smart enough to choose the right president around this time. What I've learned about journalism is that we can write what we like on elections and we can report what happens and how it happened. We can bring people information on what went on and how it happened during the elections this year.
