obama
Being black in white America.

The situation today.

The most important in recent time for blacks/ coloured in USA is that Obama was elected president of the USA....a black man. Only a few years ago it would seem impossible.

In what year was  he elected? He is educated in political science, and international politics from Columbia University and studied Law from Harvard University. He worked among others for president Clintons election campagn, he worked as an attorney for civil rights. He was elected january 2009 as the 44. president.

What kind of politician is Abama. ...what does he stand for? Obama is a democrat -  he wants a health reform, he is against the war in Irak and he works for civil rights, equality, and war against terror....much more.

Obama makes black people proud.: If you watched the news when Obama was elected president... you saw black people crying..... Never before have black people seen a black man in such at powerfull position - all their life they have been used to seeing almost only white people in important positions of society. Now suddenly a black man gets the most important job of all....the presidency.... It made black people proud---they could tell their kids that you can be anything ...even if your black...if you work hard and study.

Helth care reform During his election campaign - he talked about  his healthcare reform – and he is still figthting for it. He has a lot of opponents...a lot of republicans are against it...because it is expensive.. Now a normal ameriacn family can be poor if dad is sick and needs treatment...he has to sell their house ...borrow money in a bank...and thatś what Oabama want to change. Still the black population of USA are poorer than the white population...their are fewer blacks with an education and good jobs...and that is why epcially the black population will benefit from a national health plan. There are poor whites too, naturally.

Obama gave the order to kill Osama Bin laden

The capture and death of Osama bin Laden will boost US President Barack Obama's popularity, if only for a little while.

No one had to tell her to smile for the camera yesterday -- she woke up with a grin and it stayed there all day. Maureen Santora -- whose 23-year-old firefighter son died in the line of duty on 9/11 -- hadn't felt much like smiling in the past 10 years. But there was no mistaking the genuine joy on her face when she learned the news of Osama bin Laden's death at the hands of Navy SEALs in Pakistan.

Europe loves Obama Just about the whole of France is backing Mr Obama. He is, in the words of Jack Lang, the former Socialist Culture Minister, “the America we love ... the youth and racial mix of an America under transformation and in movement”.
