Barack Obama: a president for everybody !!!

When we knew that Barack Obama was elected we were very happy. He appeared for the first time after having gained the presidency in the state where he is a senator i.e in Chicago (Illinois). Sophia and me would have liked to be there and share with American this joy "of being able to change the United States".
The speech was very sincere he started to gratulate all the people who supported him during these months.
Voluntary people for the campaign, and people who waited hours in order to vote for him. All these people who always were with him such as his family and his partner Joe Biden and also much people who voted and their vote made the difference with Mc Cain.
Then in the second time he evokes all that awaits him during four years mandate as being president of a big country. In this passage of speech he seems very realistic that difficulties which awaits him.Even if sometimes the difficulties will be hard has to surmount. But in spite of that he seems trustful.
Finally in a last time he evoked Black's cause thanks to a woman who inspires much to him Ann Nixon Cooper who is 106 years old.

The fact that he takes in example in his speech this old woman who lived racism in the Sixties, the black population which voted in mass for him this year.
Besides he also shows that the United States changed since most of the "white" population elected him very largely as their president.
We think that Barack Obama has been elected by several categories of people.
On the one hand by the people who just elected him for his skin color, on the other hand by the people who whishes a changement in their country in particular for the insurance, healthcare.
It is true that he is the first black president elected in the United States who makes proud for the black population but we think that he shouldn't be judge on his skin color but on his program.
Especially on all that he has promised to American people Obama has much work.

To finish we believe in him and we wish for him a good luck!!!

Elodie & Sophia
