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)

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 é, de fato, um líder. Um homem especial que tem todas as condições de marcar a história mundial. Aliás, já tem seu nome marcado no anis históricos do mundo. Ele é a presença viva de que, se é dada a oportunidade a alguém, com educação escolar de forma responsável, essa pessoa deverá retornar á sociedade de forma a construí-la etica e solidariamente.
Espero que o presidente Barack Obama mostre, com ações, o que os americanos esperam dele, mas também o mundo, em especial o Brasil, meu país.

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 ....
OBAMA Is cool to be The President
obama is god

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.

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
l thank he is a good president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
Orderly
Direction
OBAMA IS SUPER
!ORALE! OBAMA
I love this page
mr obama may God bless u 4 coming to ghana
we all love ya
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.
What are the chance of Obama reading or calling anybody asking for help on these pages of comments about the same as a black man becoming Presedent keep up the faith all who write and just mabe............... God Bless America God Bless Our Leaders
I think that Mr. Obama is a very charismatic gentleman, and is a dynamic speaker.
Mr. Obama is a very good president, given the chance. People has to realize that
he is a human being just like everyone else. He does not have super human powers. Give the man a chance, give him space to breathe, in that way he will be
able to do a better job of running the country. Yes, he is black, and yes he is the
first black president, so what? He is for everyone, not only for the blacks. He has
a wonderful chance of turning the country around. It will not happen over night, it
will be over a period of time. It took the Bushes 16 yrs. to make a mess of the USA
now it will take half of that to clean it up I support you Mr. Obama.
Mr. Obama you are my everything because i love you so much, all my friends call me crazy i told them i am your 2nd wife because my name is Michele too i believed in you since the first day i laid eyes on you i knew you were going to be our next President i hang up on my friends face when they said america was not ready for a black President and i told them God sent you, you are going to be President for two terms because God sent you to put peace on earth and nothing is going to happend to you or your family because God is with your family 100% and he covered you with his blood, i wish i can meet you in person one day. God bless u and
I am so honored to have you as my president!
yes we can
Absolutely magnificent photos, indeed !
Thanks !
Thank you for being a role model for my children they are 7 and 9 Nyka and Kaleb you have shown them all dreams are possible!
When a hero comes along all spirits are lifted!!!

I just really know that you are going to do your best for American people.......
I am moved for the love and trust that the people feeling to you, President.

hello Obama you are the only great thing that have ever happen to the black human race i am very happy for you the African American first president in the us presidency once more i am very happy for you bye long live the Obamas
obama is a puppet figure head spokes man for an international royal banking cartel, like bush, like clinton, like bush sr., like reagan, like carter, like.........etc.
ALL RELATED to european monarchs past and present in ruling positions of power.
take a close look at o'bama's cabinet, stacked full of former clinton and bush team members, and o'bama's policies....
VERY similar to those of the presidents past, who through our collective ignorance, have been planning a global takeover of all sovereign nations to "unite" them under a global tyranny and police state via war on terrorism. wake up to this
hello........
Mr president a so happy 4 you curse you are the candy of president will need 4ever. i no that good no that you are the right man for u.s.a,and i pray that god will give you the power and the nonlegal to do it more god will be with you and your family...........i play football in Nigeria i believe that you can help me to to England to play there i love to play football i no that you are the right man that can help me to get there...........
Obama achievement is an amazement to the whole world.As for me i think he deserve it becos he was so sure of himself and his inspiration,ambition,tenacity,strong willingness lead him to where he is today.Obama is one of my black role model which i we never forget in the history of black race.In all of my life endeavour i look forward to these invisible black man President Barrack Obama.
wish u injoy ur time with my best wishes
Mr, president i believe that you will help my GEORGIA(country). GOD BLESS AMERICA AND YOU WITH YOUR FAMILY... LOVE YOU
Dear president Obama:
I know that health care and its cost are chief concerns of yours and the majority of this nation's citizen. There are better and fare more cost effective method of helping and or curing people, as opposed to just treating them, cutting them, and doping them up, causing multitudes of other problems. Its called Alternative Medicine. Many individuals and I myself have been on our deathbeds, and unlike me, many of them lost body parts to the happy knife, lost the Quality of life, and still didn’t survive, because the insurance companies would not pay for the treatments even thou the payment would have been less. So they died. Traditional medicine held no hope for me, and would have killed me, had I not had the common sense to got up and walked out of Hillcrest Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio August 2004. It’s really amazing what some research can do. Something that was so very cheap in comparison to a triple by-pass $2700.00 vs. $150,000.00, and the Dr. said I wasn’t a candidate for the surgery anyway. Live or die he gets paid. Just 2yrs. earlier he told my wife that I would die on the operating table, While taking his dope from 8/02 –8/04 the problem continually got worst, and he was a Cleveland Clinic heart specialist. (Chelation Therapy) saved my life and many others, and helps people with many other problems. It was so cheap that my wife and I were able to pay for it. The insurance company would not pay. At that time I was taking 10 – 15 Nitroglycerin pills a day along with 3 other drugs, just to stay in the land of the living. There are many such inexpensive non-evasive treatments available today, but it’s against the codes of law to say that these treatments can help or cure what they paid to have classified as a disease. The Government will come after you, and punish you if you do. We the people really need your help with health care, and I think Alternative Medicine is the magic bullet that will truly help you make it possible and affordable. But if you decide to push Alternative Medicine, don’t forget your bulletproof vest, as dope dealers have no morals/ ethics/ sense of right and wrong, just greed.
Ps. To you sir, I dare say that you can help your citizens, and still come in way under budget. The best of luck President Obama. Doesn’t that name sound good.

Maybe it’s not to late my son, maybe I can help you. The truth will make you a “Freeman” not your name.
These United Stated / giant corporation, started out with the worst of the worst that European countries had to offer, if you remember the history you were taught in elementary school. If you remember correctly, they emptied out the jails, put these derelicts in boats, and sent to the USA and Australia. If you started out with the worst that earth had to offer, why do you expect them to act better now? It’s in the genes, and I don’t mean the pants that they are wearing. The country started out on lies trickery and deceit. Wake-up and smell the coffee. In office now you got the best thing sense sliced bread, so what are you bellyaching about? If you did Vietnam I know you are old enough to know better, take your head out of the sand. Just in cast you didn’t know, this nation rose out of the corruption and dividedness of another great nation, with religion / emotion as one of the most powerful tools ever devised in the lead. Religion has no place in government, it breads race hatred, separatism, division, and a house divided against it self can not stand. Only just and right action tempered with morals, compassion and a genuine concern for the people you are supposed to be helping belong in government. Religion, division and race hatred are brothers, and they have lots of relatives. None of which are welcome in my heart or home.
You talk about saving souls, that job is between you and the preacher, not the President. In all your get, doing, talk, etc. get understand first, because life isn’t complicated, unless you make it so.
G Bey Cleveland, Oh.
Repeal the 22nd Amendment. Obama President for Life!!
