I think that Obama is one of the most famous people in the country, even in the world right now because of all the hope he is giving people. Besides being the first African American president, he is famous for all the things he promised to do, whether or not these things are going to happen or not. He has countless people relying on him, and he will be even more famous if he follows through on his promises.

I definitely believe he is one of the most famous people in the U.S. right now because he has created history. He will be the first African American President.

I think Obama is one of the most famous people of the country just coming off of his election. A lot of people in the US and the rest of the world are really focusing on him because what he does for America will set a standard for the rest of the world.

At the moment Barack Obama is an extremely famous person in America. I believe he is the most famous person in the world right now because the United States is so widely recognized (and criticized.) The presidential election of 2008 has been an election that will go down in history, and will determine the future of the U.S. as a world power. I think many people worldwide are looking to Barack Obama to change our country, and deal with several huge issues that will determine the future.

Even before winning the election Obama was a very powerful and famous figure in the political world. And his power and fame have risen after winning. But to say that Obama is the most famous person in the United States is a bit of a stretch. America has changed a lot since its founding. In the 1800's you could easily say that the President was the most famous person in the U.S. but now people idolize actors, athletes, and other types of people more. In my opinion people like Brett Favre or George Clooney are more famous than Barack Obama is right now.

I think that Obama is one of the most famous people in America, at least right now. He will be our first African American president, and his supporters have a lot of faith in him. He is famous for his promises, but that could change is there is no follow through.

Obama was famous at the beginning of the election, since he was the first African American to run for president. That event caused him to be a legend all over the world. Now, since he's the president, he's even more famous than before the election started.

Yes i believe Barack Obama is one of the most famous people in the U.S. as well as the world right now right after winning the election. His promises for change in Washington are going to be held to very high standards. He is also famous obviously for being the first African American to hold the presidential office. Hopefully his slogan of "change is coming" will hold true in his next 4 years in office. Lately it seems as though Sarah Palin has been getting more attention however.

Yes,Obama is definitaley the most famous person in the country, and probably in the world right now. With his election he has become the first African American president in the history of the most powerful nation in the world. It is a landmark in American and Global history, making Barack Obama the most famous person in the World.

Yes i believe that Obama is one of the most famous people in the country right now because of the recent election and the fact that he is going to be president. I think that that has a lot to do with him being famous. Also because he made history with the recent election. I think that he will become even more famous as he starts his presidency and when his presidency is over.

I believe that Obama is famous right now because of his victory in the election. Also because of the fact that he is the fist African American president. A lot of other countries recognize him because the U.S. influences and affects many places around the world. Although I disagree with his politics I know that he will be remembered forever in our history.

in a world where flashing you lady business, or having a drunken driving escapades brings you more airtime on the news stations then genocide and starvation, i am happy to come to the conclusion, that for this moment Obama is the most famous person in th U.S.A. He is a strong motivational figure for not only the young crowd, or the African American vote but for all 70 percent of Americans who are fed up with the direction the country has turned.

It seems that way. Mostly because of the extreme media attention due to the election, and the "history making" conditions of his race. The media just loves Obama, because the people love hearing about Obama. It's a supply and demand type relationship.

KaylaH said...

I agree that Obama is one of the most famous people in the world. With the historic election I believe it would be next to impossible for him to not be. His fame may either grow or shink once he takes office but for the moment he is indeed one of the most famous.

The only reason why Obama is one the most famous people in the country is because of the election. Before he started running practically no one had heard of him. To top it all off the media is really running with this, who really cares what dog Obama chooses to live in the white house? I, for one, don't. I care more about what is going on in the world, like the Congo conflict. Yes he is the first african american president but that doesn't mean we should care about every little thing he does.
