2008 election

On Tuesday, the American people voted for the most liberal and inexperienced president in modern U.S. history. The current financial crisis and Bush's unpopularity were too much to overcome for the McCain/Palin ticket.

A lot of well-educated professionals voted for Obama because he's smart, articulate, thoughtful, and calm. And of course, in cities like Chicago and NYC, which are liberal bastions of political correctness, there was the pressure to vote for the black guy because it will be historical and transformational.
