The Interview

The person’s name is Glen. He is 33 years old. He is not going to vote. The only thing he’s doing right now is jogging. He likes pizza. He does have a car. He likes John McCain the most because he is his home state senator.

Glen should have voted, but I don’t think it would have done McCain any good.
Keep the interviews coming–Mr. Barnacle wants me to research what people around Echo Park are thinking so that he can sell books (and I think he wants to branch into newspapers). It’s hard for me to get out there and talk to people since Mr. Barnacle is having me work 160-hour weeks.

Obama is a big favorite friend of the United States of America. Every one voted for you Obama.

To Glen: If he likes John McCain why doesn’t he vote for John McCain?

I disagree with John MCcain because he wanted war and all of us didn’t want war because of how the veterans were after the war. I really agree with Barack Obama because he said that he will not give war and that he will help all the people of different kinds of color or places.

I also agree with Obama because he said that he will help latinos. Obama seems l like a very nice president.
