The next President of the United States
In a vote of historic proportions yesterday, Senator Barack Obama became President-Elect of the United States of America with a 52% majority in the popular vote, and more than 349 electoral votes. Over two years of campaigning was resolved with a record voter turnout, as the Republican candidate John McCain conceded graciously at 11:20 pm eastern last night. With such a high level of interest and attention, there have been millions of words written and photographs taken of the candidates over the past year. Here is a collection of some of the best photos of President-Elect Barack Obama over the past several months. (35 photos total)

just find some people from the USA consider the world in their own way but not in the way of the WORLD's, funny.... actually the world has never been united and is not united too, what makes some American ppl think in such a strange and unrealistic way ? In the current world, there is no one who has the charisma to unite the world, let alone someone who has complicated even suspected social background and half-genetic background from which there has never produced a deserved civilization for human beings. The world changes all the time, but it always covers two sides, darkness or brightness, so any change coming might be better or even be worse
OBAMA!!!

CHANGE IS GONNA COME !!

I think that these pictures of Barack Obama are really kooollllllll :p
have fun ruining the country with your socialist greedy ideas.
our economy is failing, but i have trust in you and the trillions of $$$$ you are giving people like me who have been failed for so may years. it's time to make up for that for sure. how long before i get my check? i like the 1st photo the best!
I think that for the first time since Clinton we are back on track! Very proud to say my entire family voted for you, keep up the great work!
God Bless
I'm not even an American and I wish I could've voted for you
Obama is a great president.Because other pres. is american and Obama is from HOLOLULU and he made a change that no matter what color you are your still a person.Now and then it 2009 Obama still president! SOOO THAT MEANS EVERYTHING WILL BE HAPPY. In the global new's it will say that Obama stopped the war.
your the best president ever
Wow are we in trouble. I voted for the man but unlike everyone else here I will actually pay attention to what he DOES, not just what he says or how "cool" he is. He has done nothing substantive at all yet everyone acts as if he's already fixed the world and handed out cupcakes. Because nobody really knows anything about him this is a huge gamble. I simply couldn't vote for the republicans because they can't manage to find a leader who can speak in public, which SHOULD be skill #1 for a politician. Plus they are pulled around by their noses with religion and stick up the butt syndrome. But Obama hasn't put away the gov't checkbook yet. We could be in big big trouble folks. We're gonna need more than a cool celebrity leader soon.
Barack Obama , de fato, um lder. Um homem especial que tem todas as condies de marcar a histria mundial. Alis, j tem seu nome marcado no anis histricos do mundo. Ele a presena viva de que, se dada a oportunidade a algum, com educao escolar de forma responsvel, essa pessoa dever retornar sociedade de forma a constru-la etica e solidariamente.
Espero que o presidente Barack Obama mostre, com aes, o que os americanos esperam dele, mas tambm o mundo, em especial o Brasil, meu pas.

Obama is the best
America is "no longer a Christian nation" - Obama.that is beautiful way of depriving America's forefathers of the life acheivement of a truly Christian nation embedded in God's word. It sounds to me like Obama is either trying to get it in our heads that America doesnt belong to the Creator, or he is sucking up to muslim countries for econmic gain which will come to pass because all of what any human that has ever walked this earth has seen with their own two eyes was "vapor swift" James 4:14. Obama isnt helping anything that will save peoples souls by saying this stuff and what all he is doing politically or econimically. And if someone likes Obama because of waht he is tryng to do to help the poor people of Americ, that doesnt even matter. Read 1 Timithy 6:8. Obama needs to get real and I truly beleive that his actions to come will lead up to the end which is truly the beggining.
Tears are usually reserved for bad times in our lives. When we cry happy tears, proud tears, tears accompanied by goosebumps, we have found the truth. Never in my life, until now, have I cried such tears and felt so much positivity. That's how I know that Obama and his family are right for the job. These photos remind me of the Pride, Hope, and Inspiration I feel about our President and our country. When one man's speech can bring many other men to tears...it's a historic moment. It's a moment when we realize that anything really is possible in America.
BARACK OBAMA a men with change. BARACK OBAMA a men with all the people. BARACK OBAMA a men with history. BARACK OBAMA a men who care for his people. BARACK OBAMA a men with strong ledership.BARACK OBAMA you make me proud to say you are my president. BARACK OBAMA you are my hero. i was very happy at the night. of November 4, 2008, to see Barack Obama on stage as He was elected the 44th President of the United States.President Obama i am from cincinnati ohio and i am proud to be under your administration.
I am a man of many hopes, dreams and ambitions, and President Barack Obama makes me want to be some much more. I see him as a symbol of greatness.
MR PRESIDENT OBAMA.....BIG HEART.....MEXICO IS WITH YOU ....

Dear Mr. President, My name is Michael Esposito and I reside at 1203 Windsor Road in West Windsor, New Jersey. My wife and I have lived here for over 25 years and have enjoyed many happy monents here over the years. Recently, as you know, we have come on to a recession that has caused many folks to curtail most of their hobbies and recreational activities. This has caused us some hardship and we are attempting to keep our heads about water and continue to pay our bills and mortgage.
Recently, we tried to refinance our present mortgage on our property and we keep getting turned down for different reasons. I believe I have ample equity to refinance our property. but for sosme reasonwe do not qualify.
Mr.President........
These Photos are really womderful........ You are the Beast President..............

You will not believe the positive impact you made on us Egyptians after your historic speach from Cairo University. But before that since you were elected i felt that you are the greatest man one can meet. Believe me Mr. President i really love you. Love you as a leader of the greatest nation in the world and love you b/c you are a great father and husband. I think your wife and children are v. lucky God save you all and bless you. I (and all Egyptians) are really scared that anything wrong would happen to you. You mean a lot to us and believe me you mean a lot to me. You are the man

Hi! Mr. Obama, Thank you for becoming our 44th president, that was mom and my first time voting. I need your help in getting health insurance for me and my daughter. We had health insurance until another company took over in January,09. The insurance is so high I can't afford it, and medicaid said I made too much money. If I made too much money I would be able to keep my insurance. I was paying $242.00 a month with vision/dental, now it is $491.00 a month without vision/dental. PLEASE HELP US! THANK YOU.
God bless America and the rest of the world !!!
I love Obama.If we all BELIEVE,TRUST,KNOW and SPEAK WELL of our new man we will be blessed.Trust in GOD Good

OBAMA IS SUPER

After about 6 months of the serious day to day work of being President with all the criticism and second guessing that the American people and the media love to do, it's great to go back to these photos and to remember what a phenomenally energetic and devoted campaign this was for all of us who helped out in ways small and large. We must all remember the sense of community we all felt as we worked tirelessly to get President Obama. Back in 1965 when I marched with Dr. King in Montgomery, Alabama I never thought I would live to see this day.
Keep the faith, Mr. President and I am confident things will improve as we all work hard to support your efforts.
