Response to Obama:This is your victory

The previous article helped a lot on finding quotes. The quotes were out of his presidential speeche.The quotes were quotes that described how passionate he was for America and how much he wants to change America for the better. Those quotes will help a lot at the beginning of my paper to give a broad overview of Barack Obama. It helps a lot that he got elected for the President of United States because I will have more information then if he hadn't of been elected!

#1.Obama: This is your victory

-As Obama was giving his presidential victory speech he told his supporters that "change has to come to America".
-"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you -- we as a people will get there,"
- He is the first African-American to win the white house.
-Obama told the roaring crowd, "This is your victory."
-"While the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress," Obama said.
-Obama had conversations with both mcCaine and President Bush and how they can work together.
-Obama will be working with a higlhy democratic congress.
- Over 1,000 people gathered outside of the White House, yelling "Obama, Obama!"
-Obama won the state of Virginia, which has not voted for a Democratic president since 1964.
- Tuesday marks the end of the longest presidential campaign season in U.S. history -- 21 months.
-Obama, 47, will now begin his transition to the White House. He will be sworn in at the 44th president on January 20, 2009.

Final I-search Topic

Final I-Search Topic
Aimee Keushguerian

My interest in politics and economy has swayed me towards Barack Obama as a final topic. I have followed the presidential election from the very beginning. I have seen Barack Obama win against Hilary, and hopefully will see him win against McCaine. Barack Obama is my idle because of what he has accomplished in his life. Even if Obama does not win I will still be interested in him because of his act in the election and him being a large political figure.
There will be no problem with current information about Barack Obama. He is one of the larges topics in the news right now and will be a bigger topic if he becomes the first black president of America! There a lot of sites out there that have updated stories on politics, and the TV has loads as well.
I will not find as much information on the sites that were given to the class but I will find a lot of information on cnn and websites like that. It will be a little more difficult finding information about his life before the election then information on him during and after because before the election was less important to Americans.
There will be ongoing research for my topic. There is going to be current, updated information as well as old information posted all over the Internet, in magazines and in news papers. I will have more than enough information for my project. There will probably be an unbalance however. There will be a lot of current information, meaning during the election and after the election, but there will not be as much old information on Barack Obama. However I am looking into a book on his life in the library that will cover a lot.
There will be challenge to this project because my writing is not as strong as it should be for my age. But the research will be easy because of all the information that I will find. Although that might lead to difficulties in refining the information and selecting the key elements. Since this is only my second I-search paper I think that it is about the perfect level of difficulty for me.

I agree that it would be very interesting to research Barack Obama's life before, during, and after the election. The only potential problem I can see with this is if he doesn't win the election there wont be very much information about him or what he's doing after a few months. But hopefully that wont be a problem! Both of your other topics would also have been interesting but I'm glad you chose to go with Obama. Good Luck!

[Title]

You have already chose your topic and it sounds good. The only thing that could be bad is that the inauguration isn't till January, I don't know if that will affect anything or not but it might (assuming he wins, not McCain) I can't think of anything to say except good luck and you capitalized He in your last sentence, which leads me to believe you think Obama is God.

I see you set your mind on Barack Obama. This will no doubt be a very interesting topic because it sounds like there is a lot that people don't know about him. Also, it is looking more and more like he is going to be the next president every day now. It would be awesome to research his views on all the controversial topics like health care, the war in Iraq, the economy, and many others including his views on Darfur. As part of your project you could maybe send the senate or someone a letter talking about Darfur and see if you get a response. More importantly than all of that: Why would he be a good president? If you looked into not only these areas but others, you would have a very up-to-date and interesting isearch!

All of these topics are very interesting and current. The genocide in Darfur was also one of my possible topics, because Ive learned about it alot in civil rights team. Trials are now beginning for Sudanese government officials and President al-Bashir, so there is a lot of current activity going on that relates to Darfur.
New studies come out every day about global warming, so it would also be good choice to research. There is also a huge number of sub topics that could relate to global warming. Barack Obama would be a very good topic to choose, because there is a plethora of information about him in the news, and (unless he really screws up in the next week) I think he'll be our next president. My advice is that you choose Barack Obama for your topic, especially since (suprisingly) no one else has chosen him. Also, Barack The House would be a good name for your blog, but "Barack Obama" is probably better because its more formal.

Topic Choice

I-Search Topics
Aimee Keushguerin

-Politics, economy and world issues are the way to go for me. I chose Global Warming, Barack Obama and Darfur as possible research topics for my final I-search paper. I went into this process ( of picking a topic) thinking that I would just focus on Barack Obama, but through the research process my interests fluctuated in different directions.
-The World Studies class last year was assigned a major project on Darfur, and being friends with most of the students in the class felt like I was assigned the project as well! Darfur interested me because of immense disorder going on in Sudan. There is a huge problem going on in that territory and I thought it would be interesting to research it even more. I found a lot of information on Student Resource Center, and the Opposing Viewpoints sights. There was information suggesting that there is no genocide going on in the area, and information suggesting that there is a genocide, as well as if the US should intervene or not. Darfur would be an interesting topic to write about because it would make me more aware of global issues and come up with a personal resolution for the problem.
-Global Warming interested me because of the movie I watched, the inconvenient truth by Al Gore. I had watched in 8th grade in library class, and again with my parents about a month ago. The Opposing viewpoints sight showed me 141 pages of information on Global warming and opinions on rather global warming is true, or false, or good or bad. The World and I sight had 251 documents to show me. So I know that I will not have any trouble finding current information. I can also tie Global warming in with the election, due to my interest in politics.
-I have followed the presidential election very closely and my interest in Barack Obama grew. Barack Obama is like a role model to me, 8 years ago he didn’t have enough money for a car to see the debate with Al Gore, and in 8 years after being broke look where he is know! A lot of these sites weren’t as useful as I liked but when we are allowed to explore the web there will be a lot more current information.
-I would see Global Warming as my last choice for it is one of the three topics that interest me the least. My second choice would be Darfur for it is an extreme problem of sovereignty in a country , which would lead to me finding a personal resolution. After researching all three topics I have chosen Barack Obama as a final topic. I will write about his life before, during and after the presidential election. I feel like He is the topic that interests me the most, and would keep me with updated, current information.
