Oh Mama… It’s Obama!!

After 21 months of campaigning at an expense of over $2 billion, America selects Barak Obama as its 44th President. It’s amazing to know how much time and energy this country has put in, so that it gets a leader it so desperately needed.

African slaves were first brought to Jamestown, Virginia in 1619; 400 years later, a black American becomes the President of the country. Obama promised, Change; by electing him, the country has proved how much it has already changed.

I was listening to Obama’s acceptance speech. “This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change…..” he said. I wonder how ready he is for this job. He has to fight a global financial crisis, bring back troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, deal with the climate change issue and the list goes on. He doesn't look very confident; maybe he is just tired after the election. I really hope he lives up the expectation and delivers the ‘change’ he has promised.



REAR VIEW: I am using WORD 2007 in my laptop; it didn’t recognize ‘Obama’ until I added it to the dictionary, till then it suggested ‘Osama’ :D
