 Senator Barack Obama, D- IL, ran for President and was elected in 2008. A campaign button now serves to commemorate this historic election of the first African American to this office. To access the campaign's web site, it was no longer necessary to even enter, much less mention, the http://www. prefix to this URL address, so sophisticated had become the Internet by 2008. More than just a web site, one of the major reasons that Obama was elected (politically-correct experts say) was the grass-roots on-line organization that Obama's supporters fostered during the primaries and general election. The button's colors are true red, white, and blue, but many people who supported McCain during the general election have called Obama's patriotism and national objectives into question, and they continue to rant and rail against his administration, making it anything but a smooth path for the new President.
