obama has got a lot going for him

Before this historical November comes to an end, I would like to congratulate the U.S on the great election.

On 4 November 2008 the U.S chose the first African-American president, Barack Obama. Nobody could have imagined this historical achievement 50 years ago. He definitely has a lot going for him at the moment. Those who expect him to change the world are not only American people, but also other people all around the world, because the U.S president is the most powerful and influential person in the world. In this post I would like to find out why he was elected and how he has got a lot going for him.

The 21st century has begun with lots of gloomy events, which have made the world more unstable and insecure. Unfortunately, George W. Bush has not met the specifications to tackle the events. We know he is not a bad man, but lacking intelligence and consideration for other counties. American people realised at the election that their country needs changing. The reason why I find the U.S a great country is that they have the ability to swing to the right position back if they went wrong. That is why americans chose Mr. Obama as the president who is likely to change his country in the right direction.

Mr. Obama looks young, articulate, sensible and intelligent. There are lots of positive adjectives to describe him, but the most important thing why he has got a lot going for him is the fact that he has survived the most heated election campaign that the U.S has ever had. He defeated the first female candidate for the Democratic nomination Ms. Clinton. He has not made critical mistakes or gaffes for his 22 months campaign although Ms. Clinton and Ms. Palin did it a lot and he was taken advantage of by racial issues. The long term election campaign screens candidates out who deserves to be the president. He is the one to be left.

There are so many problems president Obama has to tackle. He might make a mistake and fail to clean them up. However, nobody would deserve to lead the country more than him in this difficult time. In choosing him, the U.S has shown a great determination to renew the country. For the time being, the world cannot help keeping its eyes on a man who has a lot going for him.
