OBAMA WINS TO BECOME THE FIRST BLACK AND THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

History and posterity will always record this as one of the most exuberant moments for millions Americans across the nation from all walks of lives, color and age groups, who witnessed the unfolding of history as Senator Barrack Obama, the young senator from Illinois pulled a stunning victory in the 2008 Presidential elections, to become the first African American elected president of the United States of America, the 44th and one of the youngest presidents of the United States of America. As the results poured in from the precincts across the nation, there was an air of expectancy, even moments of trepidation as the polling booths closed across the nation and the votes were tallied; but as the results continued to pour in, it became quickly apparent that Barack Obama was the clear winner, with 338 electoral college votes out of the 270 required votes, a resounding victory over his opponent John McCain who carried 156 electoral votes.
It did not take long for John McCain to appear before his supporters with a concession speech that was short and sweet, and which acknowledged the hard work and the true grit of his opponent Barrack Obama. In his speech, John McCain promised to do all within his power to help President elect Obama to restore what the country has lost.

From the very beginning of the campaign, President Elect Barrack Obama has displayed the strength of character that is inherent in who he is and a clear indication of the kind of president that he would be, by running on a platform of unity and inclusion and hope, by rising above the fray and focusing on the issues while his opponent frantically swerved from issue to issue while pointing fingers at Barrack Obama, and by showing enormous class and grace despite all the mudslinging that his opponent engaged in every effort to discredit him.
About 150,000 jubilant supporters gathered at Grant Park in Chicago to watch him give his victory speech. The pure joy in the faces of his supporters reflected the excitement that Barrack Obama generates in people from across racial lines, people that believe wholeheartedly in him and his message of hope and change for American. May God bless him and his family as they make this great leap into the annals of history to take on the mantle of responsibility and challenge that accompanies his new role. God bless you all.
