Congratulations America!
"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." So, said the next President of the US.
I, we, have no doubt any more about that. And I do, for the first time truly envy Americans for how you can rise and at what you can do. And how lucky and blessed you are, to have such a democratic system and such ideals! Truly, you are a great people. And that is the reason you will continue leading the World militarily, economically and technologically; and you have just proven too, that you are above the rest of the World, morally. And now you have sent such a great statement across the globe, which will cause ripples and shock waves for a long time to come.
Very hopefully, the ripples and shock waves - will be so powerful so as to bring too, the same kind of change that will, one day, allow our children too - to have such a kind of democracy working in our parts of the World; a democracy that is truly: true, enlightened and ideal.
I have just read this, and I quote:
Rosa sat so Martin could walk...
Martin walked, so Obama could run...
Obama is running so our children can fly!"
Very hopefully too, the millions of other African Americans, especially their children - will now do all that it takes, as their next President did, to rise. Rise and come out of the ghettos; and avoid drugs; and build strong marriages and families; and be responsible students, parents and citizens. And above all: take the many opportunities that their wonderful and great country has and gives. And fulfill Rosa Parks's, Martin Luther's, Malcolm X's, Muhammad Ali's, Bill Cosby's, Oprah Winfrey's and the many others, dreams. And fly!

But I think we are no better, and no worse, than the rest of the world. America simply has a lot more power, and therefore, has an obligation to be a lot more wise in that use of power. Thank God, I think we will be far more judicial for the next four years.
I love Obama, but I've been very disappointed in his first appointment as President Elect.
Kenya was overjoyed; so have we and all people with African blood or links. Here, at home where we all have been avid supporters of Obama, even before he was known by most Kenyans or most of the World - we stayed all night and when it was declared that Obama had won, we shed tears and rejoiced.
Abdulmuhib: Obama has an enormous task ahead. I hope, he can make his great and noble ideals practical and working; and very hopefully that would positively improve and change lives, not only in America, but in some of the remotest, unforgotten corners of the World.
If I was in his place, I would have done the same: appoint people who I trust most, can easily work with and can get things done. Only time will tell if Obama will be the great president that many wise and knoledgeable people are prdicting that he would be.
To be honest, I don't really think that this is true for sure, but I wouldn't say it is impossible either, because yemeni men had to spread thier seeds allllllllll over the world, who knows, this might be a yemeni seed,lol!
People in Hadhramout find it hard to comprehend how America, which is mainly white, could elect Barack. Some have come up with all kinds of stories to make the election make sense.
