Barack Obama : a Real New Dawn !

Obama is the 44th president of the United States of America, but he is above all the first Black president ! I think that this election is a historical event in the whole wide world. Indeed, all countries are involved in this election.

Moreover, since Barack Obama has been elected, American citizens are waiting for changes. With Obama & his famous sentence "Yes, we can...", the United States of America can change and correct his mistakes all over the world. I am sure that this president could turn the tide and consequently put an end to the economic crisis or the Iraq War for example. It is really remarkable to see Barack Obama president... I am conscious that the International public mind could be better than before and this thing is great for the United States of America. We can also consider that this election is exemplary by and large. Obama’s wife is a direct descendant from slaves. This woman is the first Lady of the United States of America with such origins ! Is there something else more extraordinary for Black people ? For me, it represents wonderfully the running from slavery to presidency. That’s really incredible in fact...

To conclude, in my point of view, Obama represents fraternity in the world. With him, there will be changes in the near future. This election can restrain a little racism in the United States of America & Blacks can also get back at Whites ! But, a few weeks ago, young people wanted to assassinate Barack Obama because he is a Black man. Who are these persons ? Where do they come from ? How many are they ? These are so many questions which frighten me...
