This video is a bit old (dated November 2008) but I just saw it for the first time after Yelena shared it with me. It’s a video by video remix artist Eclectic Method focused around the now somewhat infamous phrase that Barack Obama uttered as he gave his victory speech on November 4, 2008 after winning the election to become the President of the United States.
It’s kinda neat how “You have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House” fits in so well with the flow of almost any part of his speech.
The Countdown to Victory blog is a wonderful collection of videos from around the world showing the exact moment that CNN announced that Barack Obama was the nation’s President-elect.
As the tagline of the website suggests, the reactions around the world are very much the same, which goes to show just how popular this President-elect is! And even though I know every video will essentially show the same thing, I love watching people go ecstatic over the election news.
Want to know what the front pages of newspapers look like around the world today (hint: Obama-rama in full effect)? Well, then head over to the Newseum’s archive of daily newspaper front pages where you’ll see 684 different ways that newspapers have decided to call victory for Obama.
