A black man in a White House**
 * Barack Obama

=__ Biography __ = Barack Hussein Obama was born to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. and Ann Dunhan on August 4th, 1961, in Honolulu , Hawaii. Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School. He became a lawyer and after that he was a senator of Illinois country. In 2004 he joined the race to the elections. Today he is the new president of U.S.A. He is the first African American to be chosen President.  The campaign started from the people and not from the white house. It started with little money. It started from people who wanted a change. This isn't so simple. It may take time. It may take longer than the term he serves, but he is the one who started it.

His dream is to bring true human rights to the world. He hopes many countries learn from American attitude to accept a person for what he is. Obama enters a difficult period, with a serious financial crisis. He hopes to correct it by lowering taxes and offering help to the weaker groups in society. Obama doesn't believe in war, but hopes to solve the Middle Eastern conflict in ways of peace, with Arabs and Jews living side by side. Each should give it a chance. Iran, is hurting any chance for negotiation and is developing weapons for mass destruction. Obama claims that all must be done to stop Iran from realizing its dreams even if this is done undiplomatically. We would like to ask Obama to protect Israel, and to help us to bring Gilad Shalit home, and let Jonathan Pollard go.

=__ Answers __=   1. After I was recognized as a candidate for Illinois State Senator for the Democratic party, there were people who thought I could run for Presidency. I was very surprised when this option was raised as I hadn't been chosen as senator yet. After being chosen, people voiced their objections because I hadn't served the full six years. The fact that I'm here proves their wrong.  2. I was never the reasonable candidate, nor did I have the money, or in the White House in Washington. I come from the people so this is your victory, and ours. I hope to represent them well.  3. As the first African American president, I think I can contribute as any other previous president as we are all equal.  4. My slogan was "change". America can achieve any goal it chooses. The way won't be easy, and may take more than one term, but "Yes, we can!" <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: David;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> 5. My vision is to bring equality of opportunities not only in the U.S.A. I wish all countries learn from U.S.A. to be equal, equality between women and men, poor and rich, black and white, homosexuals and straights <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> 6. I believe in sensitive economy which allows a free market with keeping the poor in mind. I hope to stop the tax reduction which offers benefits to the rich only. I hope to offer a health net which will insure all American citizens with a healthy plan. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> 7. I don't oppose all war, but I hate dumb wars. One should fight war for peace! There is no need to shed blood. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> 8. I appreciate the Jews and their struggle. In my opinion, one can solve the Israeli and Arab conflict in the manner of peace and discussions. Both nations can learn to live side by side in two countries. As far as Jerusalem is concerned, Israel should have her capital united, safe and holly. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: David;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> 9. I don't believe diplomacy alone will stop Iran from getting to the bomb. The Iranian threat is real and as president I feel I must take care of it. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"> 10. John McCain fought for a nation he loved so much, he has sacrificed much more than we can imagine. I congratulate him and Senator Feilin for all their achievements and am looking forward to working with them for the security of this country.

=__ Speech __= Ladies and gentlemen, residents of the U.S.A. Today, we are making history! In all this year, we fought for a change and today we <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">have achieved out goal. <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Thousand of people dream about a time when everyone will be <span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">equal.
