President Barack Obama - History is Forever Changed
The day was a day of celebration for Barack Obama and all that his vision stands for in the eyes of all Americans.
It all officially began in Novemebr when in an unprecedented election 2008, Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected President. Election night proved to be a powerful evening full of hope and optimism. The country was looking for a change and Barack, in his acceptance speech reiterated the "Yes, We Can" slogan. Americans of all ethnic backgrounds stood side-by-side, some with tears in their eyes, as they witnessed the historic moment in American history. We were here, we saw the power of the people. We spoke, we wanted a change, and only in America can our voices be heard. America is excited and can hardly wait to see the changes that will bring the economy and the state of the country to a better place. Congratulations to President-Elect Barack Obama and his family.
Barack Obama is the man behind the "Change We Can Believe In" Slogan. But, who is he? where did he come from? and where does he plan on taking the US now that hie is the 44th President of the United States.
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. was born to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. and Ann Dunham in Hawaii. Obama met his wife, Michelle Robinson, in June 1989 when he was employed as a summer associate at the Chicago law firm of Sidley Austin. Assigned for three months as Obama's adviser at the firm, Robinson joined him at group social functions, but declined his initial offers to date. They began dating later that summer, became engaged in 1991, and were married on October 3, 1992. The couple's first daughter, Malia Ann, was born on July 4, 1998, followed by a second daughter, Natasha ("Sasha"), in 2001.
Throughout the campaign Obama has emphasized the issues of ending the war in Iraq, increasing energy independence, and providing universal health care, at one point identifying these as his top three priorities, according to Wikipedia.

Obama takes office - The Inauguration of our 44th President.
Inauguration 2009 - History, happiness, hope for America.
Obama stands for the underdog. He stands for hope for our economic future and hope for everyone who has ever felt they couldn't achieve a goal because of their racial background or the color of their skin. History is changing because one man set out to achieve his desires and goals. Lincoln was sworn in almost 100 hundred years ago this month. What a way to come full circle with the inauguration of our first African-American President. Go Obama!
Barack Obama, the modern day Martin Luther King, Jr.
Hope for America.
Barack Obama - an inspirational undertaking.
More children were asking their parents about the black man on TV. When they respond that he is the first African-American to run for the President of the United States, and then became President, the wheels start turning. That's pretty darn impressive that he was the Democratic Party nominee and then became the president. Children get inspired and feel that if this guy can do it, so can they. Every parent should talk to their child about Obama and all that this historical event stands for with regards to the future of the presidency. If Hillary Clinton were in Obama's place, I know she would equally be an inspiration to many young females, as she probably already is since she made it as far as she did and is now still politically active.
