I prefer Obama because he is younger , he is a sportsman : he played basketball at university.
McCAin is thirty years older than Obama. He is from the same party as G.Bush. He is for the war in Irak whereas McCAin is against.

Obama is young : 47 years-old. He is the senator for the state of Illinois. He is very popular. His mother is american and his father is Kenyan. I think Obama is going to be president because americans never elected a woman or a black person as president. He is the candidate for the democratic party. He is my favourite candidate because he is an african american candidate an he is against the Irak war.

I think Obama is going to win the us elections because he is very charismatic and because he is young. He is supported by the minorities : hispanics, african americans and by many celebrities all over the world. I think he is a great hope for the americans and other people in the world.

I think Obama is going to win the elections because he is less old than Mc CAin. Mc Cain is for he war in Irak whereas Mc Cain is against . I think it's a good point for Obama because the american citizens don't like the war. For example, G.Bush has become very unpopular because of the war. I think Obama will be the first black president.

Barack OBama can be the 1st black president of the USA. He is very charismatic and his speeches are very popular. He wants to stop the war and he is experienced.He wants to maintain the right to abortion in the USA contrary to McCain.

For me , the vote is very important because , I give my opinion through a vote, it wouldn't Ok for the elections result. In good citizen, you have to vote for the president. Each vote is important. The elections is a means to change the president If you do not vote, you 're not concidered .
The sloggan is "Vote or die " .
I don't understand the people that do not vote . I think in Germany, the people that do not vote, they have a " contravention". If everyone vote, It's funny and Ok.
The vote is important , then vote !
