Awesome collection of photos of Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign:

The next President of the United States

In a vote of historic proportions yesterday, Senator Barack Obama became President-Elect of the United States of America with a 52% majority in the popular vote, and more than 349 electoral votes. Over two years of campaigning was resolved with a record voter turnout, as the Republican candidate John McCain conceded graciously at 11:20 pm eastern last night. With such a high level of interest and attention, there have been millions of words written and photographs taken of the candidates over the past year. Here is a collection of some of the best photos of President-Elect Barack Obama over the past several months. (35 photos total)

The photo above is #13 in the set.

Note: I chose not to read the comments after the photos because I wanted to retain the smile on my face. When there is “Hope,” I suppose there is always “Fear.” Hope won this time. Change is (going to be) hard.
