Democrat Sen. Barack Obama became not only the nation’s 44th president but also the first African – American in the history of United States. He defeated his Republican opponent John McCain after Tuesday elections. Amazingly, he won Virginia, which is the first time a Democratic candidate had taken this state since 1964. His major promises to the people are to end the war in Iraq, implement almost a universal health insurance plan and searching for alternatives to our addition to Middle Eastern oil. However, the major concern for the public is turmoil in economy, crisis in Social Security, Medicare and overall fear of deepening recession.
His inauguration will be on 20 January 2009. He has started to form his administration. He asked a former adviser of President Clinton, Rahm Emanuel to be his chief-of-staff.
The Unites Sates is facing economic challenges therefore the post of treasury secretary is to be the next to appoint.
Hopefully, he will get reasonable, responsible and people who he can trust so they do the best to improve the country.
