The long drawn out battle for Barak Hussain Obama is over finally and he has been declared the first black African American US President. It has been a tough battle for Obama right from the beginning. He had to fight for months together to win over Hillary Clinton, to bag the democratic nomination for the US President election. And the fight was fought in every state and almost on a daily basis, with Hillary Clinton managing a lead over Obama in the initial phase. And Obama had to sweat it out thorougly through extensive use of Technology, including Internet and Mobile phones to slowly inch towards victory.

And post nomination as the Democratic candidate, again he was trailing behind, albeit marginally, over his rival Republican candidate John Mccain. And John Mccain was indeed racing ahead due to his decades of political experience, and he indeed gave a tough fight for Obama, right till the last stage.

Barak Obama will be remembered for his perseverance, and his ability to get his rivals working for him. Hillary Clinton showed all the maturity and stood by Barak Obama, immediately after her failure for democratic nomination. And John Mccain for his part, was very matured in wishing Barak Obama all the very best, for his historic election as the next US President.  Let us all pray for US to come out of the present financial crisis, and let the world too flourish alongwith US.
