Date: 6 November 2008

Summary
Barack Obama is the new President of the United States. He is the first African American to be elected President of the United States and was the first to be nominated for President by a major political party. Obama won 53% of the popular vote during the 2008 presidential election. On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States. In his victory speech, he proclaimed," It has been a long time for America, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, at this defining moment, change has come for America."

Reflection
From this article, I have learnt that Barack Obama is a capable person who is able to govern United States. From his speech, he announced that," The road ahead may be steep and long. We may not get there in one year or even one term. But as long as we worked towards it, we will achieve what we asked for." This is in line with our school vision:" If you believe it, you will see it!"
