The Beginning of Change

“The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there,” President Barack Obama. Tuesday November 4th 11pm, is when Barack Obama was selected not just as the 44th President of the United States, but the first African-American President of the United States. November 4th is the day America began changing.
The historical 2008 Presidential election has marked its place not only in history, but in African-American history. Barack Obama is the beginning of change; it starts with him and will be carried on by future generations. November 4th wasn’t just a victory for President Barack Obama, but a victory for the American people. This day in history will not be forgotten, he has overcome an obstacle no other African-American has dare challenge till this day. He has torn down the boundaries of racial issues during the election giving hope to not just African-Americans but all Americans.
President Obama had a record-shattering of $700 million to his campaign account. Obama changed America's political map. He won over states that voted Republican in past presidential elections, like Indiana and Virginia, which hadn't supported the Democratic candidate in 44 years. Ohio and Florida, which was key to President Bush's victories, voted for Obama, including Pennsylvania. He has given hope of a better tomorrow, a better nation, and a better future.
“It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America,” President Barack Obama.
