  • Description

    Moments after the presidential election was called for Barack Obama across televisions and computer screens (and probably sooner), editors at newspapers around the world began framing some of the most significant front pages in history. President Obama: Election 2008 is a collection of over 75 November 5th, 2008 newspaper front pages from around the world, including international, campus, and ethnic newspapers. A Look Inside President Obama: Election 2008, with an Introduction by Garry Trudeau In the real world, as a matter of record, there isn’t much dancing in the streets. Election Day, November 4, 2008, was different. And in Manhattan, Broadway was quickly cordoned off as thousands of New Yorkers streamed south toward the lights, dancing, shouting, overcome by a big, bold blast of history, the kind that filled up Times Square on V-J Day. And then the next day, after the street parties were over, people went out and did something many of them hadn’t done in years: They bought newspapers. But on November 5, 2008, for one day, we became a nation of newspaper consumers again. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
