"Our time to reclaim the American dream." – Barack Obama



After a long two years of campaigning, Mr Barack Obama has finally come through on top of the biggest elections in history. Obama has made it as the first black President of the United States and bringing hope to many people around the country and even around the world.

About a quarter of a million people turned up in Chicago, his home town, for his victory speech. Famous faces in the crowd were overwhelmed with emotion and were listening carefully to the promises Obama made.

"This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope." Victory truly belongs to all of us.

The two senators, John McCain and Barack Obama, campaigned strongly up till the last day of elections attracting as many citizens to cast their vote.

Obama lead by 349 electoral college votes against 161 his rival McCain. He was flying through the votes and passed well beyond the 270 number that he needed to win.

Many tears of joy were shed when the results were announced as the citizens of America celebrated the excellent news. People came out on the streets to show their happiness and celebrate in style!

A big crowd people carried on cheering for McCain as he said his speech and made clear “fought as hard as we could and though we fell short the failure is mine not yours".

Obama’s wise words in his victory speech grabbed the whole world’s attention and lead onto being congratulated by many leaders across the world.

“To those who would tear the world down, we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security, we support you.”

GO ON OBAMA.. keep it up. :)
