The press conference that was held at the University of California, Davis on Thursday was an opportune time for news organizations to obtain answers from the democratic presidential candidates. Unfortunately, the short 20-minute window prevented the media from inquiring about Senator Barack Obama’s stance on a variety of issues. Due to the unnecessary elaboration of his democratic rivals, he was only directed to three questions.
Senator Obama provided his resolutions to reduce the costs of college tuition and his strategic 16-month plan to bring American troops home. The last question inquiring about his “pro-abortion” imagery lead to a clarifying answer that his pro-choice stance
is to allow the people to decide, emphasizing his reflection of the demands from the public.
Although this press conference wasn’t sufficient to fully grasp Senator Obama’s visionary ideas and stance on crucial issues, there were no false accusations made from the Clinton campaign, which made it a more focused event.
