Unless you've been living under a rock, you know America has elected it's 44th president, an African American, making it history. However, this day is not just historic to America but the entire world given the fact that America is a superpower. Also, it is a proud example set by the US which shows their country at least is moving past racism.

If the Americans can do it, a country locked in civil war only half a century ago then other countries have no excuse. The rest of the world can follow this example and hopefully make racism something of the past.

This moment is especially emotional to African Americans because most thought it would never come. President Elect Obama has raised the bar for black people around the world. Being a rapper is no longer the ultimate reach for black people because now we know, we capable of so much more. He has set an example that will stand through out time. In my opinion, Barak Obama has not just accomplished presidency but he's now a hero for a group of people.

President Elect Barak Obama has won and in the future, his campaign will be used as a case study not just for future president but for people in marketing. He truly harnesses the power of the internet and social media. He's made brilliant moves such as the 30 min infomercial making one last plea. Despite the fact that he ran a remarkable campaign, President Elect Obama was chosen mainly because Americans want change and so does the rest of the world.

If you watched his acceptance speech, you would see that Obama is not exactly ecstatic. The reason for that is when you actually sit and think of the tasks ahead, they are enormous and much is expected of him.

Today, I am proud. Today I join the rest of the world celebrating this historic day.

Just a correction:
"a country locked in civil war only half a century ago"
- The Civil Rights movement was at this time, but the Civil War happened in the 1860's. I think this makes it even more poignant that Barack has won. Look how long it has taken. When Europe, including Germany, had banned slavery almost 60 years before the U.S. did the Industrial Revolution only engrained it deeper into American society.
Now, a man with a vision has won the presidency of the United States. He ran it without personal attacks. He ran it without fear tactics. He ran it as clean as possible, even when others were telling him that he had to get aggressive. He wisely did not. He showed fortitude and focus, and his campaign has shown us exactly how he will run this Presidency.
This man of Kenyan descent, Barack Hussein Obama, a man of great words, a Constitutional scholar (who better to defend our constitution, especially after it has been trampled on for the past 8 years?), a man who knows how to draw people in with his great smile - has become the first African American President.
I have cried every day since his election. Seeing how people in the world have responded makes me very proud of how far America has come. It took long enough, but then again we were waiting for the right man to come along.
Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States of America
