A Revolutionary Election.

The election occurred November 4th, 2008 could be the most historical election ever happened in the historic annals of the United States of America. On this election for first time an African American was elected by popular and electoral vote: his name is Barack Hussein Obama and he is the new president of the United States of America. This election, however, was an election in which the traditional concept of presidency and vice-presidency was radically changed.

First of all, a woman presented officially her entrance to the race for the presidency, Hilary Clinton, which demonstrated the change in the conception of it. She represents the women’s revolution of men’s control. Nevertheless, Mr. Obama got more democratic votes and was officially nominated candidate of the party. She showed bravely how a woman could run in a presidential race. Secondly, John McCain surprised the world with the election of a woman, too, for the job of vice- president if he got elected. Anyways, this amazing race demonstrated the world that we, The United States Of America, are prepared for change.

It is well known that before this election, not too many African Americans, white Americans, Latinos and others voted, because they were not animated or inspirited to choose a president with almost the same characteristics as the others before him ; they had lost their credibility in politics . In this election in which so many problems were disputed, the two final candidates demonstrated that they were prepared, whoever would win, to assume the responsibility of leading a country with serious issues. They both, I consider, showed courage to make the promise of making to all American’s needs.

But, after passionate debates, after strong and expensive campaigns, the people had the last word; thus they chose Mr. Obama. Now, Mr. Obama will replace the unpopular George Bush (I am not saying that he is guilty of everything Americans blame him) and he is who will carry with all the problems of his administration. He now has the responsibility of leading this nation and its problems. I can just say that we should pray for him and help him as citizens of this country.
