Obama wins presidency

November 5, 2008

Obama has made history and has become the first black president. The democrats took the gamble – reckoned that the time for change had come and elected a female candidate and a black candidate to run. Both proved highly popular. Their decision would make history if either candidate won the general election. And yes indeed it has. As much as I love seeing this, it also worries me the amount of rubble that Obama will be taking over… But he wants it and God speed – I hope he becomes the change that the US needs, having the 1st black president is only the 1st step – a change in policies, especially concerning the Iraq war and current economic turmoil. Obama – me loves u! Get ‘em tiger! : )
