Historic Obama

"Barack Obama, 47, was elected the 44th president of the United States, opening a new chapter in the country’s history as the first African-American to hold the world’s most important job.  Obama comes to the White House promising to pursue universal health-care coverage, alternative sources of energy and middle-class tax cuts. He faces daunting challenges: the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the lingering threat of international terrorism. "  Nothing is impossible. Obama made it.
