Last Tuesday, Barack Obama was elected 44th President of United States of America and the first Afro-American ever to become President. He represents a lot of feelings for American people because the last eight years, their country has been target of several changes that people would not had wanted to be involved, such as 9/11 in New York City, Iraq War and recently this economic crisis that every corner of the world has started to suffer.
Lots of people wonder why the color of the new President of United States is an issue or something really important, and this is because in the 50’s and 60’s black people in the states had to fight against who discriminated them. In those years, blacks had to use different things in order not to get involved with whites, for example whites created places like restrooms, busses, schools among others, and black people were not free to do what they wanted to do. But nowadays, things seem have changed in America, and all the citizens have elected to the first Afro-American as their president.
Obama has a big job to do, his country is going through the worst crisis in the last hundred years, and it is even worse than the great depression. Besides he promised to take away all the army in Iraq as soon as he can, and finishing with this 5 years war that has no reason today. And I consider that this endless war was one of the most important reason why Obama is President today, it is because American people are tired of watching how their relatives and friends have to leave the country to go to Iraq and do not know if they are going to come back alive.
On January 20th, Obama will take over right and go to the White House, and it will happen the Martin Luther King’s day. Luther King fought for black people rights during 60’s in America, is it just a coincidence?
