Bye bye president bush

On 4 November 2008, Obama made history. He secured 52.9 per cent of the popular vote. The new President assembled his team making his old adversary, Hillary Clinton, secretary of state.Within days he ordered the military to start preparing to withdraw from Iraq, a war started by Bush. He also reversed Bushs ban on federal funding to foreign establishments allowing abortion. He would also later reverse Bushs limitations on funding stem cell research and repeal a two decade old law of Dont Ask Dont Tell that banned openly gay people from the military. And in a country where many deny climate change, Obama championed alternative energy. But ever the politician, he saved the troubled car industry, securing jobs: And future votes.
