Barack Obama Versus John McCain

Obama is a great man and so is McCain. But I like Obama better. McCain is practically the same person as Bush and things have not been so great since Bush became president. Obama is change we need. NOT WANT, NEED!!!!!!
Obama wants an alternative fuel source, a peace treaty with Iran, no one having to be an illegal immigrant, also no Mexican wall.
He is a Senator Just like McCain. So he knows his politics. Also he wants a better Union. He knows what you want and what we the people need. He listens and cares for the rich, the poor, and the middle class. Unlike McCain who only cares what happens to the upper class. He knows what its like to be at the bottom of the chain and the top of the chain know.
Obama has many view points he stands for. Like the Iran war. He wants to pull the troops back and get a peace treaty with the government of Iran. He believes we should have a deadline for how long we should fight in a war, unlike McCain, who would allow us to continue to fight forever. Also For any illegal immigrant he wants to make them legalized citizens.
Obama wants a better union. Also he wants less nuclear plants and an alternative fuel.
McCain’s voters are saying many things against Obama. Like that many terrorists are supporting him. This is a lie.

McCain’s supporters also are saying that as soon as he becomes president he is going to let anyone into the U.S.A. This is also a lie. Obama said, “We need to secure our borders, but we need to do it in a way in which we are not separating families”. McCain voted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006 authorizing construction of a 700 mile fence along the U.S. - Mexico border. Did you know that not only has that wall cost us a huge fortune, but not even the farmers who live on the land still want that wall to be finished. It is not keeping illegal immigrants out, it is preventing the local farmers from going back and forth to work, because many of them live in the US side, but work on the Mexican side.
I think Barack Obama will succeed in making his journey to the president. Also he will be great at doing his job. I think all of his supporters will be very pleased at our countries choice.

lab report

Lab Report
Velocity
Objective: We are looking for the down falling velocity of a an object positioned at .194m
Hypothesis: If you were to drop an object lighter than the control at the same height of, .194m its velocity would be slower.
Materials:
Control-Keys
Object two- five quarters
Measuring tape
Tape
Ink blot
Tape timer
Scale
Procedures:
One: weight the control
Two: place tape timer at .194m from the ground
Three: attach control to tape, attach tape to tape timer
Four: run one, drop control from .194m from the ground, count dots, and record.
Five repeat steps three and four two more times with the control.
Six: Tape the five quarters together and Weigh object two
Seven: Attach to tape, attach tape to tape timer, place tape timer at .194m
Eight: run one for object two, drop object two from .194 meters, record data
Nine: repeat steps seven and eight.
Observations: There was a 0.18m/s (velocity) between the two objects. The average speed for the keys was 0.52m/s . The average speed for the five quarters tapped together was 1.06m/s . There was a 5.6g difference in weight, the keys weighing 34.4g and the quarters weighting 28.8g.
Results:

Conclusions: Our hypothesis was true, weight in deed has an impact on the velocity of an object. The lighter the object the slower it falls.
