[politics] OBAMA win & newspaper front pages

admin — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:47:19 +0000

On November 4th, 2008, Barack Obama was elected as the 44th president of the United States.

It was grand, historic night – not just for us in US, but all over the World.

I wanted to grab a newspaper – with a front page image – on Nov 05 (the day after) as a souveneir of this day. But they were sold out every where I went ! Finally, I managed to grab a ‘customer copy’ of San Jose Mercury News from a Cafe by 8pm. I am really thankful to the Cafe owner who just gave it to me FREE !!

Here is the front page image from Mercury News

And from San Francisco Chronicle:

If you have missed out on these editions, you can order a copy here:

It is really interesting to see the newspaper covers from US and around the world. Here are few links:

- The definitive place is Newseum which has over 700 newspaper covers : http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/default_archive.asp?fpArchive=110508
