Barack Obama

Barack Obama

Barack Obama was born on August, 4, 1961. He is the democratic candidate for the presidential election of 2008. He was born in Honolulu Hawaii. His father from Kenya was named Barack Obama Sr. His mother died of ovarian cancer at the age of 34 in 1995. He went to a local school in Jakarta, Indonesia until he was ten years old. His father divorced from his mother two years after he was born and only saw his son one more time before he died in a car crash in 1986. Barack Obama was elected into the Illinois Senate of state in 1998 and he was elected into the U.S senate in 2004. Although he only has had eight years of expirence i think he will make a good president because of the hardships he had to endure as a child and because of the international world view he has from growing up in Indonesia. This will allow him to calmly deal with problems involving other countries.

John McCain

There is only one word to describe why anyone would want to vote for John McCain in the Presidential Elections: Expirence. John has such a huge background that it is almost hard to explain it all. John McCain was born in 1935. He went to a naval high school and was excellent in the wrestling team. he married Carol Shepp, a model, in 1935 and then adopted two kids and had one of their own. he entered into combat duty and was made a prisoner of war. He was heavily tortured and beaten until he signed several propaganda "confessions". Since John McCain has been in the middle of combat, being the president of the United States will not be very hard for him. he has had so much expirence that he would also keep the United States in the way that it is going now, but I think that he will keep things mostly the same while Barack Obama will change some stuff up.
