    president. He beat John McCain; a war veteran. Thereplubicans thought this was a long shot. Barack has Joe

    Biden as his vice president. Not only did Mr. Obama capturethe presidency, but he led his party to sharp gains in

    Congress. This puts Democrats in control of the House, theSenate and the White House for the first time since 1995, whenBill Clintonwas in office. The democrats have the
