Explanation:

The 2008 Presidential Election between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain is mostly remembered because Barack Obama became the first African American President of the United States and because of the crisis the world and mostly the United States experienced that year.

The crisis of 2008 (economic downturn) was one of the main factors that influenced this election, Barack Obama stated that the crisis was originated because the government didn't intervene enough on the market and John McCain blamed the institutions for this crisis. The Iraq war was another issue during the election, Barack Obama opposed taking America to war because the army was needed in Afghanistan to fight against terrorism, while McCain supported an attack to Iraq with the argument that Afghanistan and Iraq were both important.

This election also resulted in a great voter turnout that demonstrated the nation wanted a change and that civic engagement was being restored.
