Barack Obama - 44th president of the United States-

On the 4th of Novermber 2008, history was made! The book of history flips to its new page as the day breaks dawn. As milllions of people around the world await anxiously, the news that aesthetic the world but yet leaving millions wondering came - Barack Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States in an unexpected landslide election.

Being the first African American in 200 + years since Thomas Jefferson first drafted the Declaration of Independence, Obama brought hope to the American by holding his campaign's theme - Change

Having a seemingly comparable experience only to Sarah Palin, Republican Vice President nominee, Obama has shown a more commanding leadership skill and charismatic compared to a person who has served the country for over 50 years - John McCain

John McCain, no doubt has shown patriotism for the United States, but the US do not need a president who finished 2nd from the bottom of a class of 600 person and crashed 2 planes during his military practice only to get away from getting sack from the camp because of the reputation of his grandfather and father.
On the other hand, Obama, coming from a poor family without his father, graduated from Harvard with a honors in Law practice. He was offered high paid jobs in the Wall Street but he declined because he know he has a bigger goal to achieve, that is to be the next president of the United States. Walking up to the chairman of Democratic party, Obama, in one fine day, said " if you are looking for a person to be the next president of the United States, i am the one"

Having basically nothing to start off with, he was faced with Hillary Clinton in the primary election. Hillary Clinton was well known because of her husband, Bill Clinton, and have all the fortune to stack up well over that of Obama.
Obama, however, have to run the campaign by setting up his website in which hoping that his fans would donate money to his campaign. Being a charismatic speaker, he, of course has win the heart of most of the people and thus helping him in winning Hillary Clinton in a tight Democratic race.

He is one step closer to achieving his dream but yet, far fetched from a good night sleep. He was faced with McCain who was expected to win most of the southern state's vote. However, McCain was faced with a thousand pound burden - George W. Bush!!
He is always being associated with Bush, who has turned United State's surplus into a multi billion dollar deficit.
After many advertisement, endorsement, debates, the eve of the election is here. I was fortunate enough to be able to witness the final speeches of both presidential candidate. Campaigning non stop from 7am until the time i go to the bed, it is undoubt a living hell for both the candidate.
"From the rocky mountain Maine to the sunshine California, we have endured 21 months of campaigning." as Obama speaks in his speech, " when we first started with nothing, we know the slope is steep and the walk is hard, i will have one word for you all..... TOMORROW (crowd cheersss), tomorrow you can turn the page on policies that put the irresponsibility of Walstreet before the hard work and sacrifice of man and women across Mainstreet........"

On the morning of the eve of election, however, Obama's grandmother, who basically took care of Obama since young passed away after a long battle with cancer. But when he steped up on the stage, when the election results shown him to be the winner of the presidential race, he did not shown a sense of self deprive or depression because he know he has a more important part to play - to bring America to a new direction, one that will benefit the world. In his acceptance speech, he say " Although no longer with us, I know my grandmother will be looking at me and i miss her tonight...."

However, a lot of hatred was brought by older white mens towards Obama as they are not ready to allow a black, who once was thought to be only as slaves, to lead the most powerful country in the world. When Obama spoke of McCain in his acceptance speech, the crowd cheers but when McCain spoke of Obama in his speech to congratulate Obama, the crowd "Boo".
A lot of rumors now speculate that Obama might be assasinate before Jan 20 of 2009 and that Obama is an Anti- Christ who will bring the end to the world according to the scripture Revelation. Who is right and who is wrong, the answer is still nowhere to be seen. As to is Obama the "one" who will bring the world to a new direction, only the future will be the best answer to it. Let us keep an eye to the day when Obama and his family move into the White House. Nevertheless, the United States of America has it's new story to be told to the world.
