Barack Obama will leave his statut of president-elected of the United States and become the official President of America on Tuesday January 20th. But between November 4th 2008 and January 2009, he won't have "lazy" days but will have to choose his government, make different speeches, meet people... We've decided in our blog to speak just about a couple days. You can find his complet agenda in details on his website Change. gov


Hard choises and challenges follow triumph
After his victory of historic signifiance, Barack Obama will inherit problems of historic proportions. He must revive an economy experiencing some of the worst shocks in more than half a century. Abroad he has pledged to end the war in Iraq and defeat al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afganistan.

He also promised during his campaign to transform health care, energy and education into a set of legislative priorities for his first two years in office.

Beyond that, he must manage relationships with Democratic leaders and Rebuplicans : Can he, for example fulfill his promise to govern in a unifying and inclusive way ?

Some people still have a lot of skepticism about the effectiveness of his government because we can ask : Will he, as he said, make a real and concrete Change ?

Moreover we can see that Americans have a strong believe in president elected Obama and think that they life will be better . They call him HOPE and the reactions they had on November 4th 2008 at night was unbelievable and nearly worrying for some experts.

Indeed, people were crying on the streets, praying God to thank Him for this victory, the freedom could be seen upon many faces... In the churches of Harlem people were praying : "I'm kneeling and praying because he mustn't be killed !"
So, how will they feel and react if president Barack Obama can't fulfill his promises ? Will they be really disappointed ?
Specialists think that this kind of reactions can maybe be a burdon to Barack Obama and influence his decisions in the future.

Barack Obama's victory wasn't only his victory or an American victory but a victory for the whole world. Every Country in the world shared the joy of the Americans and Barack Obama symbolises Hope for almost all the countries, especially in the Third World Countries, which happiness was stronger than everywhere else.
