Getting ready for his big move to the White House is Barack Obama, who I am applauding. On November 4th, he gave the world their hope back. Feeling lost, ignored and powerless for eight years, America is well on its way to being united once again. While we began to feel as if our voices didn’t matter, we now have proof that they do.

Although I am confident Obama is going to lead us in a much better direction, we the people have a lot of hard work to do. This Friday, November 7, 2008, Obama spoke to the world yet again, explaining that while he is still not “officially” president, his first goal is to “act swiftly to resolve [the financial challenge].

“Immediately after I become president, I will confront this economic crisis head-on by taking all necessary steps to ease the credit crisis, help hardworking families, and restore growth and prosperity,” said Obama. “I’m confident a new president can have an enormous impact.”
