Obama – The American Dream?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

On Tuesday 4th November 2008, there was the moment when the fates of two men would be decided, with long excruciating campaigns, the two presidential candidates were tired and worn out. But they knew the extent of their work would be decided by the American public, would it be the republican candidate John McCain, or the much favourite Democratic candidate Barack Obama?

It would only take 270 Electoral College votes for one candidate to win, with 64% estimated turnout, Obama would go on to win over 349 of the college votes; with the votes so bias towards Obama, it was obvious the Americans were looking for change.

Since announcing the choice to run as President, Obama has gained much media attention and also the attention of the public, not just in America but in the world. People were surprised he would go for the post because of his ethnic race, being African American and the first Black President, which proved to be irrelevant when it came to voting with 43% of white people voting for Obama. But people were gripped by his speeches; he would speak of the troops in Iraq, the need for universal healthcare and the energy independence.

Obama used his strengths to his advantage, his compassion for America, the world and for his people. The charisma is his speech. But people thought it would all be talk and he would not know what to do in situations, people would question his views on climate change and since becoming the President -Elect, he has already started the ball rolling. With new policies already set in place, saying that America should be the leaders in Climate Change. In his policies he states that by 2012, 10% of America’s electricity should come from renewable sources, rising to 25% by 2025.

Another is providing short term relief for American Families facing pain at the pump, Obama is looking to help families on low income, so that they can live a sustainable life. But the question is what will Obama do for the world? In four years he plans to come up with a verifiable global plan, to stop the production of all nuclear weapons, as well as securing all loose Nuclear Material from terrorists. In the main interest of the people, Obama wants to renew the Diplomacy, willing to rebuild alliances, meeting nations, friends or foes in order to advance American interests.

People think Obama is just a pretty face, but in truth he is ready and willing for whatever task he is faced with, he will show us what he can do when he takes the presidency in January. Starting by tackling the economy, in order to help not just America, but all other countries in economic turmoil.
