So I just found out that Barack Obama got on the cover of Rolling Stones for the third time. This presidential election is defintely a big change from the years before. I could never imagine a presidential candidate on the Rolling stones three times in one year. By this happening, I can see that the younger generation is really concerned about this election. There is so much buzz that many media outlets for the younger generation are getting involved too. Here is an excerpt from the Rolling Stones interview with Obama.
Rolling Stone: "It's January 20th. You take office. Look at what you're confronting: the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression, the climate heating up faster than anyone imagined, dangerous nuclear instability around the world ..."
Obama: "Two wars. Yeah, we got some problems."
Rolling Stone: "Do you still want the job?"
Obama: "I tell you what -- now is the time, I think, to want the job. Because this is going to be a transitional moment for the United States. We have these moments periodically. Obviously, I wish that the Bush administration had not run things into the ground so bad, but no matter what, we would have had some big decisions to make. We have a big decision to make about our energy. We have a big decision to make about health care. We have a big decision to make about how do we revamp our education system to compete in a global economy. We have a big decision to make about our foreign policy and how we deal with transnational threats like terrorism, climate change -- eventually pandemic, refugee flows, genocide."
I like where Obama gets questioned about how this is the worst time to be a president with the economic problems. Obama replies that this is the time, he should want the job. I like this because it shows his confidence and his genuine will to want to improve this nation. What is another reason McCain didnt get on the Rolling Stones as much as Obama. Obama just simply looks better.
