Obama vs Romney: Part 3
The U.S. Embassy gave an opportunity to Mediamax's correspondent Aram
Araratyan to watch the process of presidential election campaign in
the U.S. As a result of his trip to the U.S., a special project was
born. We present you the final part of the project.
Barack Obama
October 4, early morning. Denver vicinity. Sloan's Lake. Though it's
still 7 a.m., many people gathered here and the paths to the lake are
cordoned off by policemen. Several hours later, U.S. President Barack
Obama will meet with his Colorado supporters.
Barack Obama preferred to meet with his supporters in an open air.
Despite the cold weather, about 12 thousand people came here to see
and listen to the President.
Unlike Mitt Romney's rally, Obama's one seems more simple. Modern
music is heard from the huge loudspeakers and people sing and dance -
not just because of to high spirits but to warm themselves up. Old
famous supporter of the President, American rapper and producer
will.i.am from `The Black Eyed Peas', came to warm up the people. For
example, it was him who wrote songs `We Are the Ones' and `Yes We Can'
in 2008. These words became the main mottos of Barack Obama at 2008
elections.
This time, "Forward" is the President's motto. This inscription on the
blue background (official color of democrats) is featured both on a
big poster and the stage the President is going to speak on.
The President spoke about how he is going to lead Americans at the
debate with his opponent Romney a day before and as many people think
he was not convincing and was inferior to the rival. The local and
foreign journalists gathered there can only guess how Barack Obama
will appear in front of his supporters after the defeat experienced
only a few hours before.
It's tough not to be enticed by personal charm of the American
President. If Mitt Romney is a very successful figure yet very far
away from them, Barack Obama is a pleasant and smiling fellow who can
drop in to a bar to have beer. He is supposed to lose a bit of his
huge magnetism and charm he used to have 4 years ago. However, many
people still think him the embodiment of the American dream: with
wonderful wife and charming children as though just landed from a
Christmas postcard. And the human factor as it was earlier mentioned
is rather strong in America. "In any other country of the world,
Barack Obama would have no problems with re-election", an American
diplomat expresses his opinion a few minutes before the President's
appearance on the stage.
Barack Obama comes up to the stage as though a football field, with an
immutable charming smile and welcomes the people. Hardly did he manage
to utter a word, his sports "fury" and mood already strike our eyes.
Obama seems to be completely confident, charged and energetic - in
fact, the way people used to see him.
`I love you'. A voice of a girl is heard once the applauds are
subdued after the President's greeting. Obama makes a second pause and
smiles. `I love you back', - says the President and starts his attack.
"When I entered the stage I met this most inspired guy who called
himself Mitt Romney. But he couldn't be Mitt Romney as the real Mitt
Romney traveled the whole country promising reduction of taxes by USD
5tln supporting the rich. The guy on the stage said last night he
didn't know anything about it", the President started his speech.
Barack Obama spent the whole 24 minutes of his speech in the same
energetic and aggressive style. One can only get surprised where the
energy was during his "duel" with Romney. Obama's speech was
periodically interrupted by `Four more years' chanting.
Barack Obama delivered his speech on the same emotional wave and
finishes it with `God Bless America'. He then welcomed the people
below for a long time shaking hands with hundreds of people, hugging
the old people and children dazzled with endless flashes of photo
cameras.
If comparing only particular rallies of Obama and Romney, the U.S.
President was much brighter and convincing. If taking only the debate,
the republican was irrefutably more persuasive.
After Colorado, President Barack Obama and candidate Mitt Romney went
on a tour across the states. All the rallies of the candidates will be
held in the so-called swing states - Virginia, Wisconsin and Florida.
The next debate between Obama and Romney are scheduled for October 16
and 11 and will be held in New York and Florida respectively. The
presidential elections will be held on November 6.
