Obama

On Obama website, there’s a piece of press release on Obama’s proposal of doubling federal funding for charter schools at Dayton campaign stop. Obama expressed his ambition to an audience of 750 inside the Stebbins High School gymnasium, and he pointed out that both democratic and republican parties should set aside the disputes between the two sides and do something really constructive to the public. Obama’s speech boosted the confidence of the audience and gave them hope, which could be seen through the response of the audience according to the news.
This piece of news proves that political campaign fulfills the functions of informing the public of the position of presidential candidates on issues that are of great importance to them, and it also engages the audience’s involvement in political campaign. Actually, the speech is interactive in the sense that it helps the speaker and the audience know each other better. It serves as a resource for the candidate to better adjust his campaign them for the future; while for the audience, it either reinforces their expectation in the candidate or changes their view towards him.
Anyway, the debates between the presidential candidates which show their different approaches to the same problem can help the public make better judgment for their future president.
