Why did America choose Obama?

Answer 1

America voted for Obama because we hoped he would help our economy. Mccain wasn't really being confident in his speeches for a "better America". But, unfortunately, we made a mistake. That mistake was that we didn't get an interview of him before Obama became a candidate; Barack Obama sought to change the U.S. his way. Plus, before 2008, we didn't even have a black president; America thought they found hope from Obama. He came up with a healthcare plan called Obama Health Care, which has likely damaged the U.S, so far.
