Barack Obama won the presidency and made history on a steady message

of bringing change to a country that has been hungering for it.

The first black to be elected U.S. president, Obama ran a nearly flawless campaign and proved to be a cool customer under fire on the campaign trail and during three head-to-head debates with defeated Republican John McCain.

“It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America,” Obama told cheering supporters in Chicago after his victory.
