BARACK-FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT



Today is 6 Nov.

Yesterday, United States woke up to a brand new world. And the world also. 
It was such a historical night which i can never even try to explain with words... There were more than 250.000 people gathered in Grant Park in Chicago on the election night. There were lines up to 2 kilometers. And what I have seen was that it was so packed with young people and blacks... Actually it was their night.

Youngsters that campaigned for 20 months to elect Barack Obama as the president of United States. They call them the "Virgin Voters":))

Blacks that have been dreaming about this day, a day that would never come. 

But it came. When the clocks hit 10.35 in Chicago, on the gigantic billboard of CNN there appeared one sentence: BARACK OBAMA ELECTED PRESIDENT...
I will never forget what I have seen, what I have felt and what I have witnessed on that night. Everybody was screaming, hugging each other, and shouting "Yes We Did"...

World cannot change in one day, in one month even in one year...But I have a hope that things can really go much better than a Bush administration for 8 years.
Of course Obama will not have a magic wand in his hand, but at least he is elected now. And there is no need to think about the near future, at least not for the next one week. So let the world celebrate the first black president of US, Barack...
