44th President

Barack Hussein Obama II is the 44th President of the United States of America. He is the first African American to hold the office, as well as the first President born outside of the continental United States.

On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the general election with 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173 and became the first African American to be elected President of the United States. In his victory speech, delivered before a crowd of hundreds of thousands of his supporters in Chicago's Grant Park, Obama proclaimed that "change has come to America".

On January 8, 2009, the joint session of the U.S. Congress met to certify the votes of the Electoral College for the 2008 presidential election. Based on the results of the electoral vote count, Barack Obama was declared the elected President of the United States and Joseph Biden was declared the elected Vice President of the United States. Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States at 12:05 PM EST on January 20, 2009, in an inaugural ceremony at the U.S. Capitol.

I don't know personally what will become of our nation with this new president. I know that this nation was founded on the basis of Christianity. I know that God knew who was going to be elected. I know that this is all in His capable hands. Have a great day!
