Election Coverage

Last night I watched two different news stations, CNN and MSNBC to watch for coverage about the election prior to the results being announced. Both stations provided information to their viewers about both candidates but the majority of the information presented from both stations was the significance of Obama winning the election. Representatives from the Obama campaign were interviewed on both stations throughout the news cast. The tone of the news casts were both very serious when it came to discussing the significance of Obama winning. Both were very creditable with their sources of the information that they presented to the audience. I understand why this was being looked at by both stations because this was a very important factor in this year’s election. This is the very first time in history that we have ever had an African American become president let alone even run for president. Obama gives hope to not only the African American community but all genders and races that you can do any and everything that you want to as long as you set your heart and mind to it. Some many say that as an African American I only support Obama because he is of my race, but this is not true. Obama is a true inspiration to us all, and he is going to be victorious in being our next president of the United States.
