BARACK OBAMA MAKES HISTORY!!
“This victory alone is not the change we seek: It is only the chance for us to make that change” – Barack Obama
This week’s issue of PEOPLE features the history-making future President of the United States, Barack Obama.
People had been anticipating the moment for weeks and months, if not generations. And yet when it came, there was still an instant of shock. The second that news organizations declared Barack Obama the next President of the United States, the crowd of more than 200,000 that had gathered in and around Chicago’s Grant Park erupted in shrieks and cries of “My God!” People trembled, wept, hugged each other.
The election of a new President always marks the start of a fresh chapter in the nation’s history. But to many supporters, Nov. 4, 2008, felt like the beginning of a whole new volume: the election of the first African-American man as President, at last affirming the cherished belief that anyone could grow up to win the highest office. If nothing else, Obama, 47, just four years into his first Senate term, has already redefined what is possible on the nation’s political landscape. He spoke eloquently of change, and with his resounding victory – Barack Obama delivered it.
