44th President Barack Obama
November 6, 2008, 10:12 am (3 years ago)Following probably the most thrilling and well-recognized political history of our generations, Barack Hussein Obama held the 270 Electoral College votes required and of course, a lot more as well as that, winning 364-174 to turn out to be the 44th President of the United States.
Republican adversary John McCain gave up his campaign last night following that it became obvious that a Democratic total victory was on track: 'My friends, we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly,' McCain stated. Regrettably some in the audience hooted and jeered Obama’s name, but McCain quieted the pessimistic people with a refined speech.
In addition to being the country’s 1st black President, Obama is as well the 1st Democrat in office since 2001.
