Arts of Democracy; week 2 Quarter 2 blog.

This week I have been thinking about who I want to become the next president.

Before I begin doing too much research on the candidates this year, I would like to say that up to this point, I really want Obama or Clinton to win, just because of the fact that Hilary is female and Barack is black. I feel that we need to step outside of the stereotypical way of thinking about our president.

Although I wish it was that simple to pick a president that I will vote for based on their culture or gender, I definately know that this is not really the right thing to do. So, I need to learn a lot more about each of the candidates on both the democratic and republican side, though I am sure that I am a democrat. In order to choose who I think would be the best candidate, I definately need to do more research on all of the presidential candidates this year.
