JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM: "WASHINGTON, USA (AP) - Barack Obama became the 44th US president yesterday, shattering American racial barriers as the first black leader of the nation he promised to free from the grip of its profound economic troubles and steer away from wars in two distant lands.
Obama assumed power over a country longing for change after former President George W Bush's eight divisive years in the White House, an era that witnessed the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, the beginning of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and an economic collapse not seen since the 1930s Great Depression."
