The Obama phenomenon, 1-year later
It’s been one year since the historic election of Barack Obama, we open up the phones to hear what your thoughts of how he has fared thus far.
One year ago, November 4, 2008, Barack Obama won the White House in impressive and historic fashion—not only did he handily beat his Republican opponent John McCain, but he became the first African American president of the United States.
