2008

November 4, 2008, Barack Obama was elected the United States 44th president. He shattered more than 200 years of history by winning election at the first African-American president of the United States. When Obama addressed the nation for the first time as it's president he said, "If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer."
