All Hail President Obama

NAHREMAN ISSA

The moment has finally arrived. After two years of heavy campaigning, Barack Obama is the first black President of the United States of America. It has a great ring to it, hey?

America got it right this time around. Obama is exactly what the States need to change their image worldwide. Now it’s time to put the magic that is Barack Obama into American foreign policy. Change was needed and Obama will provide that.

Watching him accept his presidential win, listening to the words come out of his mouth during his speech made me tear up. I had goosebumps… I’m not even American but this meant so much to the entire world.

Every second Facebook status mentioned Obama (and all in a good light). My parents spent all night watching Arabic satellite. The presidential race was all over the news. When they announced Obama as winner, my parents were ecstatic.

News stations showed countries across the globe all cheering for this man. Even terrorist group Hamas is planning on sending a congratulatory letter to Obama for his historic win.

The reason why every one is going crazy for him is because he promises hope… change… optimism.

Here’s hoping to four unbelievable years with Obama. Correction, let’s hope for eight more years of Obama!

The biggest factor in this election was the economy. We can thank George Bush for basically giving Obama the keys to the White House. When the economy is in the tank, American voters like to back up the Democrats. When it’s national security at stake, it’s the Republicans who get the call.

Because Bush basically drove the economy into the ground sending America into an evitable recession, America responded by voting for someone who will concentrate on fixing issues on their home turf. If you’re going to spend billions on something, it should be your people and not a war overseas.
