Why was Obama elected president? Who is behind him?

After he became the Democratic presidential candidate, several factors contributed to his successful election as president.

The first is the economic crisis. Statistical research shows that the economic situation is an important determinant of the presidential election results. Good economic conditions are conducive to the re-election of the current president or the election of candidates from the same party as him; When the economic conditions are not good, choose the candidate of the opposition party. At present, the financial crisis and the economic situation are very bad, which I fully discussed in my previous articles.

Second, Bush is the least popular president in the United States for many years, and less than 30% of voters are satisfied with his presidential achievements. Apart from the poor economic situation, another important reason is his improper handling of the Iraq war. Obama opposed the Iraq war from the beginning and announced that if elected, he would withdraw most of his troops as soon as possible, which won the hearts of the people. One of his winning strategies is to link his opponent John McCain with Bush's failed policies. Mccain just adopted a passive strategy, telling voters that Obama has no experience.

1: He is African-American and has won the support of a large number of blacks. They believe that the election of the Olympic Games will significantly improve the political rights of African-Americans.

Forty-five years after Martin Luther King, the leader of the civil rights movement, delivered the speech "I have a dream", voters used their votes to realize the dream of African-Americans entering the White House.

Reform, openness and optimism have brought hope to the American people.

Up to now, Obama has raised more than 520 million dollars in campaign funds, several times more than the amount raised by the president who raised the most campaign funds in history, and this was created under the deep financial crisis in the United States. It is estimated that more than 85% of Obama's campaign funds come from the Internet, most of which are small donations of less than 100. Therefore, Obama became the first presidential candidate to refuse to use public campaign funds ($84 million) provided by the government. If elected, he will also become the first "Internet president" in the United States.

5. Obama's skin color represents the development direction of a pluralistic society, ethnic minorities and the times. In a sense, for the first time, Obama was given a symbolic meaning beyond the United States. The emergence of leaders with "non-mainstream background" is a historical necessity and must be realized in the United States, mainly because the United States is the most developed and populous immigrant country in the world.
