Firstly I am sorry if the question offends anyone as that is nt my intention. I am from New Zealand and I haven't really been keeping up with the latest US news. Now I know that Mr Barack Obama is the New Elect President of the United States but what I want to know who he is and why people choose him? what did he do to make people choose him and who was he before the became president? Did you vote for him and why?

yes... I know how you feel. I to want the wr to end and infact most the world would like the war to end. Nobody likes to go to war. I hope this is one of the changes that President Obama makes and I wish him luck in doing so as well.

Barrack Obama is the new president of the United States of America. I believe that people voted him president because, they believe that he can make a change, that will not only be good for the United States of America but for the rest of the world to.
