An Era of Change in the US
0 commentsObama is President
Democrat Barack Hussein Obarna, the United States Senator from Illinois,is the new occupant of the White House - the first Afro-American to become US President. He beat Republican John McCain, 72, on Nov. 4.Obama, born on Aug. I 4, 1 961, is the first AfricanAmerican to be nominated . by a major American politi- cal party for president. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he became the first black person to serve as president of the Harvard Law Review, Obarna worked as a community organizer and practised as a civil rights attorney before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003. He was elected to the Senate in November 2004 with 70 percent of the vote. Obama announced his presidential campaign in Feb. 2007 and was formally nominated at the 2008 Democratic National Convention with Delaware senator Joe Bigen as his running mate.
The Bradley effect didn't work out at the epochal election. Obama appears to have transcended racial barriers. A new era of Democratic dominance opens up. As history'S most costly campaign ended, the entire world waited with excitement to see a transformation in US foreign policy.
