What can i say about 2008 , it’s a year not like the others , you may ask me why ??? the answer is simple ,A BIG change has come in 2008

Throughout this post I’ll try to talk about some of  the main events that happened in 2008

The US election :

After 8 years of a catastrophic governance , the US felt the need to change the way things were going , and this by electing the first black president of it’s history , making the dream of martin Luther king alive

I have to admit , that not only the US will be affected by this election , but the whole world, especially because the united states is the most powerful economy and military power in the world .
Why is this election so important ?? it’s mainly because after 8 years of bush’s and  condoleezza’s governance , the world has simply changed it’s way of judging the  USA , the war in Afghanistan and Iraq lead by bush , has been the main factor that has made the US no longer being seen as peace keeper , but seen as war maker
But all this is now a part from the past and the whole world hopes that after the election of Barack Obama , things are going to change

The economic crisis :

The second main event of 2008 is for sure, the economic crisis , the explosion of the sub-prime mortgage bubble has been the main reason behind this terrific crisis that has affected all the countries around the world , and lead thousands of companies and banks to bankruptcy ,and millions of people to joblessness , you can read more about the economic crisis here .

For sure we will see the results of this crisis in 2009 and if countries from all around the world do not  gather their power to find a solution to this crisis,the world will be directly going to hit the wall at 407 km/h and no one knows what will be the consequences of this

The raise and fall of the oil barrel’s price :

maybe this is one the main consequences of the economic crisis, the barrel’s price has during 2008 reached a top of 150 $ and then decreased to reach 40 $ which means that the economic crisis has pushed countries to decrease their  consummation of oil , and this is for sure not beneficial for oil producing countries, like KSA .

And a lot of other events that for sure have affected us in a bad or a good way .
