Outside Reading #2

This week i read an article titled "Obama asked about help for struggling families during tour of Ohio neighborhood" in the Star Tribune, the author of this article was Christopher Willis. This article was about how Obama plans to help the little man. First I believe this is true because, he went to a town where homes were described as, "ranch-style and split-level," he did not make a trip to Beverly Hills or rich communities, he stopped to get opinions of less fortunate people. Also i believe he plans to help the little man because after taking government class i learned democrats believe in raising taxes to aid the poor, and Barack Obama is democratic. Another reason i believe this article was about him helping less wealthy is because he went directly to the people that were struggling, he sought them out instead of them asking him he asked them. Him seeking the poor and struggling illustrated how much he cares about their future. Lastly i believe Obama is helping the poor because he stated that meeting these people helped prepare him for his debate. If these people helped to prepare Obama, this means he is going to take their ideas and the thoughts of aid for the struggling, and use them as platforms for his campaign.
