Congrats to President-elect Barack Obama on winning the election yesterday. He had a lot of support from Asian American celebrities like Kelly Hu, , Yul Kwon, Daniel Dae Kim, Jin, Tamlyn Tomita, Kal Penn and more. Barack Obama’s Half Sister Maya Soetoro-Ng and his brother-in-law Konrad Ng campaigned for him as well.

The Presidential race was tough, but being the next President will be even tougher. The top concerns for Asian Americans are the economy and the Iraq war. Changes to these issue will not happen overnight. Barack Obama has a blueprint for changes we need for Asian Americans. Take a look at his blueprint, which covers the economy, education, immigration, healthcare, seniors, women, civil rights, poverty, foreign policy, veterans, and faith. Also take a look a Obama’s response to the 80-20 initiative which covers workplace discrimination, breaking the glass ceiling, and Asian American judges.

Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4th, 2008 in Chicago.
