Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois was elected the nation's 44th president yesterday, riding a reformist message of change and an inspirational exhortation of hope to become the first African American to ascend to the White House.Obama, 47, the son of a Kenyan father and a white mother from Kansas, led a tide of Democratic victories across the nation in defeating Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a 26-year veteran of Washington who could not overcome his connections to President Bush's increasingly unpopular administration
Yes Sen. Barack Obama won the presidential campaign. The world waiting anxiously for the result. Before this whenever the news in Singapore blares about this campaign I could hardly care. Called me naive but to me it won't affect me directly in a way. Being the first African Americans is significance. America is the land of opportunity where your dream or ambition can be realized. Personally I felt so relieved that the previous president reign of tyranny, bullying, bombing has come to an end. When your leader decides to fight evils with fires thousands of innocent lives prevails. I remember once my daughter came back to school and reported to me her friend beat her. I wish I can reply back this to her. "What! Your friend beat you next time beat her back". For a moment I think that is not going to solve the problem so I reply to her next time just report anything to your teacher. So far so good heard no more complaining from her.
