Last night, the 2012 presidential election of the United
States of America was decided. President Barack Obama has been re-elected as
president for a second term. The results were confirmed when Obama won the
electoral votes of Ohio helping him to reach 270 total electoral votes. I
watched the 2012 election results on Fox News on TV.
With the re-election of President Obama, one major area
of concern is the Obama Health Care Reform. This reform focuses on providing
health care benefits to everyone, especially the uninsured. It ensures that
Americans will be able to obtain healthcare regardless of preexisting
conditions and income. There has been a lot of resistance to the ObamaCare
Health Plan from the Republican Party, and with the re-election of President
Obama, many in the US and the world will be watching to see how Obama’s health
reform will turn out.
In his victory
speech, Obama made many other promises that will be watched throughout the next
four years. He wants to reform America’s tax code, fix its immigration system
and relieve America of reliance on foreign oil. Additionally, he wants to
create more manufacturing jobs opportunities, lower college tuition and double
exports.
The United States election does not only affect America.
Countries worldwide have tuned in to the presidential race and focused on
debates between Obama and Mitt Romney for the past months. In particular
interest to the global economy is foreign oil and exports. Obama wants to be
less dependent on other countries for natural resources like oil, but he also
wants to increase exports to other countries.
I chose to talk today about the 2012 US Presidential
Election because this election has a huge impact on my country, the world and
me. I believe it is important to know what President Obama plans to implement
in the next four years, and I also think it is important for people globally to
be aware of changes such as healthcare reform and economy exports.
