The headline reads: "The Victory of Obama" and the line on top: "History in the USA: First Black Presidential Candidate"
His last name is spelled: Aleph-Vov-Bet-Aleph-Mem-Heh
His first name is like the Tanakh character Barak (Bet-Reish-Quf), which is interesting. I remember seeing a headline in 1991 which spelled a politician named David with Daled-Yud-Yud-Vov-Vov-Yud-Yud-Daled. That is, David was spelled phonetically in Hebrew instead of putting it as the Biblical David (Daled-Vov-Daled). So why with "Barack"?
