Diane Celebrates First Black President
Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP Diane Abbott today welcomed the new president of the United States Barack Obama and the chance for change.
Speaking today Diane said:
“As Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States takes office, we can truly say a new era has begun. The sense of euphoria felt in America is echoed throughout the world as Obama’s message of hope and change resonates strongly with every American, overcoming barriers of race, sex and age. America has proved both to itself and the world that they have turned the page on the failings of the Bush administration. Although Obama will be faced with a number of challenges going into office, we can be reassured that we have a thoughtful, intelligent and brilliant politician running the most powerful country in the world.”
