Yes I believe so. Obama was elected for his first term in 2008
The first civilizations that we have knowledge of developed in the valleys of major rivers: the Nile (Egypt), the Tigris and the Euphrates (Mesopotamia), the Yellow River (China) and the Indus River (India).
These civilizations developed in the valleys of rivers because this environment provided them with various vital resources. A constant and reliable source of water was needed for the development of agriculture, which allowed them to sustain large populations. Agriculture also flourished due to the fertile soil that tends to surround river valleys. The rivers also worked as a highway, allowing them to develop trade and facilitating the exchange of information.
One of the very first was more of
a short scene than a film. It was called L’Arrivée d’un
train en gare de La Ciotat ( Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat). The 50- second-
long silent black and white was filmed in 1896 by Auguste and Louis Lumiere.
There is an urban legend that tells of how the film caused a stampede when the audience
thought the train would drive right into them. But the truth was just the
audience and the journalists were just impressed and amazed. They were
pleasantly surprised and was very excited for more film.
