Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States.

Barack Obama is the first African-American president of the United States, ending eight years of Republican rule. Barack Obama will be the first African American President of the United States Of America that will sit in the White House in Washington. To OUR President, Make us Proud! The People have spoken Giving Barack over 338 Electoral Seats.

Obama’s victory is an incredible watershed moment for the country, and the ultimate success of the civil rights movement of the 1960s, when Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a future when whites and blacks could live as equals.

The Detroit Red Wings are Stanley Cup champions because they excel at both ends of the rink. For the 11th time in franchise history the Detroit Red Wings are Stanley Cup champions after defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 in Game 6. None of them does it better than Henrik Zetterberg, whose two-way play earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.The Swede’s goal midway through the third period proved to be the series winner and he had an assist to lift Detroit to a 3-2 win Wednesday night over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6.

He became just the second European to win the award, joining fellow Swede and teammate Nicklas Lidstrom, who won it in 2002.

The Penguins made it very interesting as with less than two minutes remaining Marian Hossa scored on the power play to pull the Pens within a goal.

The tension mounted even more for Detroit as Sidney Crosby’s backhander flipped over Chris Osgood but stayed out of the net with no time left on the clock.  After the series it was revealed that Crosby played the series with both injured ribs and groin. Following the game Crosby appeared emotionally spent.

The Wings accomplished the rare feat of clinching all four playoff series on the road.

The win was extra sweet for Dallas Drake who earned his first Stanley Cup ring in his 16th season.

History was also made as forward Dan Cleary became the first player from Newfoundland and Labrador to have his name etched on the Stanley Cup.

With the victory Mike Babcock became only the third ever head coach to capture both the Stanley Cup and the CIS Championship, which he did with the University of Lethbridge in 1994.

Eight Red Wings remain from the 2002 team that won the Stanley Cup: Lidstrom, Crhis Chelios, Dominic Hasek, Tomas Holmstrom, Draper, Kirk Maltby, Datsyuk and Darren McCarty.

Way to Go Red Wings it was a well fought hard season for you, and now you have the Stanley Cup back in Motor City…. Hockey Town USA.. Detroit Michigan..
