At that time, Obama visited Russia for the first time, where he discussed questions regarding the non-proliferation of weapons of mass lesion.
The new US senator quickly won the sympathy of the press and became one of the most significant political figures of Washington. In the fall of 2006, neither in society nor among the population had no doubt that the "favorite" of the Democratic Party would participate in the elections of the US President-2008 and will become the next chapter of the American state.
These assumptions were confirmed - in 2007, Obama officially announced his joining the presidential race and began preparing the election program. He focused on the country's political and economic issues, as well as the support of the low-income layers of the American population, which was supported by most US inhabitants.
