Obama-Biden Campaign Button, 2008
01
Artifact Overview
Democrat presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama, campaigned on themes of "Hope" and "Change." These positive messages spoke to an American public beset by years of conflict in Iraq and reeling from a recent financial crisis. These twin themes also reflected Americans' belief in an inclusive multicultural society. In November 2008, voters elected Obama -- the first African American president of the United States.
