It’s official: Barrack Obama is the new US President.
I know that the election meant so much to the millions of Americans who went out to cast their votes. A historical milestone is almost a tame word to describe this giant event that catapulted the first black man into the presidency of the world’s super power.
A lot of people has hailed Obama as the Messiah, a God-sent man to save America and the rest of the world from destruction. The infamous “Obama Worship” and “Manifest Obama” is an indication of how some people have lost their grip and put Obama at almost the same level as God’s.
Once the dust starts to settle, that’s when Obama’s real work begins. For sure, it’s not going to be easy, given the tumultuous political and economic upheavals America is going through right now.
Meanwhile, in my little corner of this world, I and my family will continue to watch in amazement and wonder how this black guy from Colorado will turn out to be as he begins to shape America’s and the world’s destiny.
Will he deliver the goods? Will he remain true to his ideals?
I wish him all the best.

the enormity of the odds is almost unfathomable, mel. he is not the answer to america's problems, but i believe he is exceptionally qualified to lead us to solutions.
I agree with Cherie. Obama is not the answer to America's deep financial problem. Americans however need to see some change, and that's what Obama had promised them.
