Hillary clinton.

Bill Clinton introduces and supports Hillary Clinton in a campaign he says her life, accomplishments and policies. According to her campaign, when she studied at the Yale she was interested in public service for poor people. And she spent one more year studying children care and law. After study, first she worked for poor children, and then, she taught law with Bill Clinton. Then she made a medical clinic for poor people. When she was 29years old, she was a chair of a association for poor people and woman.
As first lady, she helped Bill Clinton and worked for health care. Even though they didn’t succeed, she didn’t give up. She kept working for poor children and people who have cancers, also about immunizing. She has been 82 countries as the representative of the U.S and they all respected her. This is important because the U.S can be a good friend with other countries. And also she can positively affect Indo and Africa.
As Senator, she immediately went to work on solutions well about American problems with Republican Party; for example, decreasing crime, better health care, children health and creating jobs. She usually tried to solve problems with new solutions.
Bill says when he saw her, 35 years ago, Hillary has best combination of mind and heart than anybody. She has a leadership, pursues clean independent energy for future, can create millions job and can make health care for all Americans. She spent whole time caring about and working for poor people. Also she can healthy, economic America. Bill is sure Hillary will make Americans proud every day.

I really impressed she studied and worked for poor people. I thought she is from a kind of royal family and she doesn’t do anything for poor people. But she was very interested in caring poor people when she was in school. It is very important because she really want to help people, so she spent extra year caring people and then she has practiced good things for poor people. As I feel within America, the biggest problem is health care. It’s horrible compared to my country, Korea. So about health insurance, she will do well. And her good reputation from other countries is also important because now, Bush made a lot of enemy. If she is elected president America could be a friend to the world.


Rudy Giuliani

Rudy Giuliani think America need president can exercise fiscal discipline and keep on offense on the war and terror and keep us safe. As he mayor of the New York he made it very large of priority to reduce crimes. He made our school safe and reduced taxes dramatically for very short period time and collect more money from lower taxes. According to campaign he has optimistic leadership and he has proven his ability through results.

I’d like to focus on him when he was mayor of New York. He reduced lots of crimes and made New York safer. So he can prove his ability by showing his accomplishments. And now most American think safeness is very important, so I think especially about making safe America may be he will do well. But I doubt his opinion about supporting Iraq war.



Barack Obama

He was born between Kenyan father and American mother. When he was 2 years old, they divorced. His mother remarried and his family moved to Indonesia. Obama lived for four years as a child in Indonesia. Then he returned to the U.S to live with his grandparents he got scholarships when he studied. After graduated Columbia University he went to work at a community organizer and then he studied more at Harvard law school. He lives with his wife and two daughters.
In campaign he always insists “we are one people, there is not liberal American and not a conservative America there is the United States of America. Not a Black America, not a White America, not a Latino America, not an Asian America, there is the United States of America. He insists welfare reform, health care for uninsured children, tougher ethics laws, death penalty reform, and tax relief for low income workers. In 2004, he was alone to oppose the war in Iraq among the major candidates of 2004 the U.S senator. He won a landslide victory.
He’s promoted greater use of alternative energy and higher fuel efficiency standards. And Obama has continued work in issues that touch our lives. He championed a law to help prevent weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists and bring a new pace of American leadership around the world, and a law to open p the budget process to greater public scrutiny. In all these effects, he’s brought Democrats and Republicans together for the common good.

When I interviewed for people about 2008 the U.S presidential election most people supported Obama but they don’t have any specific reason about his policies and accomplishments. They said they feel just Obama’s image is very good and familiar with them. So do I. If I were American, so far, I would support him because his accomplishments are good and above of all, he can change America more peaceful and harmonious if he is elected president. And only his campaign show his family and how important his family for him. That kind of strategy is good because as I mentioned it can make Obama be familiar with the people. Of course his plans to invent, promote new energy and Iraq war are also good. And for me, now, the U.S election is somewhat interesting because of Obama and Hilary because America use to be so conservative, so always they support the White America. What are Americans going to choose next leader?



Bill Richardson.

In his campaign he says “we have to undo the damage. The world is waiting.” He’s nominated four times Nobel Peace of Prize. According to his campaign, he is one of America’s best governors and more international experience than just about anyone else in the 2008 field. He insists he can heal America and restore our place in the world. His life works has been bring in people together to patient to determined diplomacy and governing with humor and high expectations. In New Mexico, he reduced taxes and crated 80000 new job green energy and fight global warming. He has an optimism that can lead America to a good faith and great things.

He looks like merciful neighborhood to me. He has also good personality, many accomplishments and he has a lot of international experiences but I don’t know exactly why. I think it is better he works for good thing, like peace and harmony, for America and the world with his lots of international experiences in a kind of international association. Also, When I interviewed most Americans they want a next president who cares and is good at solving domestic problems.


John Edwards.

He always says about two America; for example, “there are extremely wealthy people and everybody else. There are two public education system one for wealthy community and the other for everybody else. There are two health care systems. So as we go down on the line there are two kinds of America.” He want to make one America where every person has the same opportunities he’s had. And his plan is that cut tax on low income workers, and expand earned income tax credit for single works reduce the marriage penalty, and create one million stepping stone job, and expand affordable housing near good jobs, and enact employee free choice act, and enforce labor lows, and ban the use of permanent replacements for striking workers, and college for everyone, and universal health care plan, and help families save by cracking down on abusive credit card companies.

First, my feeling about him is look young and clean. By the way, In Korea, people often say for fun about young candidate he has another chance so we are not going to choose him. His thinking and insight about American problems are good and effect but his strategy is little bit dangerous. That means he always says about two America and contrast between wealthy people and anybody else. That way can cause anti-feeling naturally from wealthy people. Compared to Obama’s way of speech, even though both have almost same idea to make one America Obama seems to emphasize just make one America, but Edward seems to criticize two America. I think it is very important point when we say something.


Ron Paul.

Even he is republican he voted against Iraq war. And he has won several online polls so he has become one of the most famous personalities of the Internet. The term ‘Ran Paul’ has been measured as the top internet search term by Technorati.com since 05, 09, 2007. However, some people think Paul can’t be elected president because he doesn’t get support from the mass media. And some think that he only gets support by the Internet but not by people on the streets. This campaign insists we can see people who believe that are wrong. Paul does get much support from the every people.

Before I saw this campaign I heard about him from my one interviewee he supported Paul because his policies good even he is republican he wants to bring American troops home from Iraq. And an interviewee said the reason why he chose republican is strategy because most American still prefer Republican Party. It was very interesting for me. And this is one of reasons why I interested in 2008 election. I felt his campaign is much stronger and powerful about voice, music and entire composition than the other things. First a little bit strange for me, But after watch whole thing, it make me think he has strong leadership like charisma. And another interesting thing was support from internet because in Korea, we can see one of successful example our current president who supported a lot from the Internet and young people.


Learning American election and candidates was good experience and useful for me. And I feel I am familiar with America more than before. And I am excited who will president be?
