Strength vs. intelligence

Barack Obama, was elected as the first black president of the United States of America on November 4th 2008. I think it is great. First, even he was not elected for the colour of his skin but for his ability to give a new impulse for his country, he provokes a huge hope for the Black population. Forty years ago, Blacks were lynched because of the colour of their skin. Furthermore, he fulfilled Martin Luther King’s dream. Then, we can say it is also a good thing because G Bush gave a bad image of the United States of America in the world. Bush used the strengh, Obama will use the intelligence. But we can wonder if he will really change America and the world.
