Person of the Year 2008?

Time2008年度人物一个小时前网络展开评选,候选人25名。

我投了Obama一票,因为支撑他背后的是一个自由的美国,也因为他开始磨拳擦掌带领这个国家。记得写关于他的论文的时候,脑子里全是关于他的新闻报道。我也算是他的追随者之一啦。

让我有感而发的,是另外两位入选的政客。马上离任的小George W. Bush,和竞选失败的Hillary Clinton。入选理由中这样写到:



George W. Bush
Pro: Iraq continued to improve, and at least he acted as the economy collapsed, giving Paulson leeway to engineer the bailout.
Con: Let Wall Street run wild under his watch. With his approval ratings at record lows, has there ever been a lamer lame duck?



Hillary Clinton
Pro: After debilitating early setbacks in the Democratic primaries, the ex-first lady found her voice as a deft campaigner for the working class. Though she lost, her effort was historic, as no woman has come closer to winning the presidency.
Con: Who was the aloof, inevitable candidate before Iowa? And how could such an experienced campaigner miscalculate the primary math (caucus states count too, you know).

我只是好怀念两位,因为在过去的很多很多年中,通过各种媒介,我的生活中一直有他们。如今,一位即将下台了,另一位也偃旗息鼓了。他们都是我欣赏的人。谢谢他们,祝福他们。

我總是很羡慕自己生活與時並進的人,你就是其中一個,我的目光很短錢,所以永遠沒有辦法做到你那樣成功.
