In 2008, Barack Obama was elected the forty-fourth president and the first African-American president of the United States, a benchmark on America?s political timeline. Beginning in 1776, the thirteen colonies split from England to become our own country. This split resulted in a new government and new political parties. We?ve had every party from Whigs, to the Tea Party, to the Marijuana Party and are now left with two major federal parties: Democrats and Republicans. The rivalry between these two parties is at a high in 2010. To most Democrats, Republicans are only useful to block Democratic policies like Healthcare Reform, Gay Rights, and the Economic Recovery.
