Barack Obama wins the

So, will we have the 1st african american president coming up in fall, 2008??? Well Obama has already fulfilled his goal on winning the delegates and is on his way to his dream...being president. This all happened on May 6th, 2008 Barack Obama one at least 98 of the delegates, leaving Hilary Clinton with only 85. The numbers may seem close but only one can win, and that one was Obama. After all of his hard work, his win was definitly rewarding for Obama, his family, and all of his voters, and fans! After Obama's win, a man said, "Barack Obama has refused to play by the old, politic rules. He's about to be rewarded for it"(Klein 21). So it is pretty obvious that Obama works and thinks very cleverly and eventually he gets rewarded for it. Hilary was a really great runner, and had the same chance of winning the delgates was Obama did, but according to Time Magazines, she made many mistakes. Some of these mistakes include: she did not judge the mood correctly, she depended on old money, and she did not completly master the rules. Now that Hilary is out of the running, will Obama win??? Keep an eye on the news and if you can VOTE THIS FALL!!!

**EARTHQUAKE TERROR!**

On Monday, May 12 2008 at terrible earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 hit China. More then 60,000 people died, and 26,000buried in collapsed buildings. In Yingxiu, out of the population of 10,000 people, only 2300 survived, and 1000 of those people were injured. This earthquake has been the most deadliest earthquake since the Tangshan earthquake in 1976. Not only was this earthquake in China terrifying but it was un-expected which is why a lot of China's population died from it. Sientists think that the movement of the Asian plates was probably what caused the earthquake. A school also collapsed on the outskirts of China killing more then 5 people. The earthquake lasted for about three minutes, and during that time it was able to destroy so much.  media type="custom" key="865275"

 * Shirleyw1226: I like the topic your writing about. You have good facts too. I also like the font and color you used for you title. Very African!

cdegasperis: I like this page a lot. So sad though. Maybe you could write about how we can help them so that you're ending on a better note. Cool font for the heading. =-)

dUshu: Your social awareness summary is really well written and your slideshow is also very impressive! I agree with cdegasperis about ending on a better note. That would really improve this summary and make it awesome!

<span style="COLOR: rgb(9,251,32)">greenhairedgirl: Nice job on your social awareness article! I love your heading it really fits the theme. On your intro youu made it sound like africa was a country and not a continent so i think adjusting that would help, as well as giving tips on how we can help thes people and maybe a link to the UN site on this info about aids. Over all nice job though!! **
