Barack Obama takes the Presidency for the United States Tuesday Nov 4th.
During his victory speech that night Obama said, “The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.”
With that confidence hopefully now the moral of this country will be brought back up. Obama and Biden four-part economic plan has a lot steps that it wants to achieve and many good things to come out of it for the middle class and seniors.
“Now that Obama has when maybe we will see changes, changes we so desperately need,” said Mayor John Rink of Barrington.
Obama will be sworn in on January 20th, 2009. 2009 is also the year that will mark the centennial anniversary of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The youth and minority vote was an all time high for this years election. People wanted to see change and Obama is there way to do that.
“I am nervous yet excited to see what happens with Obama as president. We need a new face in the White House and I think he will make the changes that this country needs,” said Councilman Kirk Popiolek of Barrington.
Some of the first things done will be putting the four-part economic plan into action. Supporters of Obama know that everything won’t be fixed overnight but they are hopeful that it will change that things will start to eventually get better rather then worse.
“All we can do now is support Obama and patiently wait for better things and work together as communities and cities and states to help with his changes,” said Mayor Rink of Barrington.
