Obama Wins a Clear Victory, but Balance of Power Is Unchanged in Washington

Obama Wins a Clear Victory, but Balance of Power Is Unchanged in Washington

By Lucero Morales Corona

The news that Obama won the election on November 6  has been a topic of relevance. For this reason at the newspaper of New York Times published an article by Obama's victory.

At the beginning of the electoral status quo states existed but this did not prevent President Obama returned to the White House for another four years. Reaffirming Republican control of the House and Senate remains in Democratic hands .

The tie in effect were the Democrats, having more to lose but did not. The Republicans lost a great opportunity to gain ground in the Senate in the states that are supposed to have and control by the party as are Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota, but we can not ignore the fact that other states are losing territory as Maine and Massachusetts.

On the other hand we see that Obama won a clear victory, but less decisive than other presidents who were re-elected. This result does not show just how divided this country. While Obama does not leave the Republican side, making a call to the next administration to achieve work together to solve the problems of economic and social sphere. Also take into account that it must return to the issue of immigration, that in this election the Latino vote for Obama bowed.

I agree with the article as soon as I get Obama to win this election. We have to note that Obama's victory was for the electoral college and the popular vote. Counting on the votes of both parties is how he can claim victory.

We must take into account that in Obama administration fought for the middle class, has simultaneously considering immigrants. One of the issues for which I can get the victory is on the issue of healthcare.

On the other hand the issue of Hurricane Sandy was favorable for Obama because he had more support by the citizens that he left the campaign to see the damage he had caused in the American territory.

On the other hand we must take into account that the results were closely contested. Several people were against Obama because he did not have the expected result and that did not comply with what he said in his election campaign in 2008. Those who voted for it because they want to give a second chance to really work on what he accomplished. This election had a higher response from the public but there was a greater response by youth and Latinos. For me this just shows that politicians are increasingly taking into account the youth.

Obama should do an analysis of what they did well to obtain the victory and that's what he did wrong to not have the other vote. You have to take into account that it must work hard to get better results in the next mandate. As we know in America is a country populated by different races, that's why that should not put aside that fear.
