Interview w/ Reflection

Q: How does the presidential candidates’ choice for vice president affect your vote?

A: Obama made a serious choice. He chose a person that was strong where he was weak, Foreign Policy. McCain made a wild guess.

Q: Does the candidate that you are voting for have opinions on issues you don’t agree with? Explain.

A: There are some issues that I don’t agree with, but they are minimal. The issues that I agree with overpower the others.

Q: How does the government economy affect your vote?

A: It makes it more serious that we need to get the right president in the office to make the changes that need to be done.

Q: How does the candidates’ position on changing the education in our schools affect your vote? Why?

A: Does McCain even have a perspective on education? I haven’t heard one. Obama recognizes that changes need to be made to improve the educational system.

Q: How does the presidential candidates talk about change affect you? Do you think they will actually take the time to make the change they say they will?

A: They will try to make the changes that they say but will not be able to accomplish everything they say.

Reflection:

During my interview the interviewee responded fairly. He could have responded with more elaboration but you can tell his viewpoint and standards as the questions are asked. The first question asks his opinions concerning the choice of the vice presidential nominee for each of the parties. Through this question, we see that he believes that Barrack Obama chose his vice presidential nominee wisely since Biden is strong in Obama’s weakness. The second question asks if he agrees with everything that his presidential choice does. The responding answer shows that he is willing it overlook minor issues to focus on the issues that are more important. The third question asks how the economy effects his decision. The reaction to this matter contains the realization that we need to get the right president in the office to establish the changes that need to be done. The fourth question asks how the candidates’ stance on the education in our schools affects him. His answer to this inquiry shows that Obama’s views on education have been clearly dictated as on the contrary, McCain’s has not. McCain’s issues on education have been their but they haven’t been made to stand out in his campaign as some of the other issues have. The fifth question asks how the candidates’ talk of change affects him. His response to this issue shows that he realizes that all of the change that the candidates’ have said will not come true. He believes that whoever is elected will try to the implement changes that they have stated. All anyone can do is wait to see how the election turns out, and the decisions that are to follow.
