Abstract
February 10th 2007, Barack Hussein Obama stood as candidate for the White House race with John MacCain as a running-mate. After passing through the wilderness and being the talk of the town, he managed to achieve 52.9% of the votes. He took the oath of office on the Holy Bible on January 20th 2009 and became the 44th president of the United States of America:
“I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; (…) I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will do the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States”.Then, what did Barack Obama planned to “preserve, protect and defend” the country he is now leading and representing? Let's see the campaign which permitted to the first Afro-American president to sit down at the Oval office.
First of all, when he was running for president, one of the main new reforms he talked about concerned foreign policy.
Withdrawing the American troops from Iraq is a priority. That's a matter of fact; the war against Iraq has been lasting now for more than 6 years with the Bush administration. Barack Obama wants to withdraw progressively the troops from Iraq and get the territory clear by 2010. Above all, he wants to stop the daily massacres happening over there, as much among the Iraqi civilians as among the American soldiers.
