U.S. Secret Services’ ultimate mission
Well, some very important people needed a lift this morning…
Can you guess who? Here’s a hint:
Barack Obama; 44th president of the U.S.A.
Barack Obama elected president
Tonight Senator Barack Obama was elected 44th president of the United States of America, only one day after his beloved grandmother passed away.
Obama makes history as he is the first African American to be elected president.
Shortly after the announcement was made, his opponent John McCain made a speech congratulating his new president, proving he’s not a sore loser… or if he is, he knows how to hide it. It was very convincing anyway.
So, Bush is fired. Let’s just hope Obama will know where to start with the mess he’s about to get into. The United States aren’t doing so well these days….
Barack Obama’s great loss
… And we are not talking about the presidency.
Barack Obama lost his beloved maternal grandmother yesterday, just hours before the elections for the 44th American president.
The favorite candidate’s sister Maya Soetoro-Ng issued the following statement:
“It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer.
She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances.
She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.”
A tearful Barack Obama stated:
“This obviously is a little bit of a bittersweet time for me. She was somebody who was a very humble person and a very plain-spoken person.
She was one of those quiet heroes that we have all across America. They’re not famous. … But each and every day they work hard.
She’s gone home. And she died peacefully in her sleep with my sister at her side. And so there is great joy as well as tears.”
His grandmother, who raised him from age 10 while his mother worked in Indonesia and to whom he was really close to, died in Hawaii.
Our condolences to Obama’s family.
