Barack Obama has been elected the first black president of America, but has his historic win inspired YOU?


Stacey said she feels anything's possible now Barack Obama's been elected president. She said: "It feels like the American dream is coming true just like Martin Luther King said."


Eight-year-old Zak said: "Because I'm mixed race and so is Barack Obama, it feels like I can relate to him and he's more inspirational than other people."


Nine-year-old TK said: "Because America has a black president I feel I'll now have more opportunities."


Fletcher, 8, said a black president is more inspirational than black footballers, because footballers can only change the Premier League table, but a president can change the world.


Iesha, 9, said: "Like Martin Luther King I now have a dream that I can achieve whatever I want to achieve in life."


And eight-year-old Reece said: "I reckon I could be Britain's first black prime minister!"
