Barack Obama Elected as President

During the entire election, Obama had a pretty steady lead. It wasn’t a very close victory, it was considered by many people as a landslide victory when it came down to electoral votes. When it came down to John McCain and Barack Obama, a lot of people had a fear the racism would kick in. A lot of people thought that the whites and blacks would seperate their votes for the candidates of their own race, but that was not the case. The majority of the people in Barack Obama’s crowd when he gave his speech after being elected were white.

After the election, everyone had a joyful response to Obama being elected, of all races. The streets were filled with happy people. Voting polls had lines outside the building, people were waiting outside for hours just to get their chance to vote. Barack Obama won both democratic and republican states. It seemed like Obama had a flawless campaign. He had practically no mistakes, everything was done by Obama with complete honesty towards himself and his beliefs.
