Obama's grand victory

Obama's grand victory
Wasif Wahed, Old DOHS, Dhaka
The American people have finally taken the right decision by electing Barack Obama as their 44th president. This entire election has been historic not least because an African-American will now be in the White House (for the first time in US history) but also because of the enthusiasm this man has managed to stir across America and around the globe. The results say it all---349 Electoral College votes for Obama to McCain's 162. He has indeed managed to bridge the divide between “red states” and “blue states”which was also an important theme of his 2004 speech-- which brought him into the spotlight.
