Obama: 'Let's change the world'
“Together, we will change this country and change the world": This was Barack Obama’s rallying cry to Americans in the closing days of a campaign which saw him become the first black President of the United States.
A politician from whom the world expects great things, Mr Obama described the 2008 election as a “defining moment” for Americans who were looking for “real and lasting change that makes a difference in their lives”.
