World Welcomes Obama

America has chosen Barack Obama but most of the world has readily welcomed him with open arms. He brings hope!

It’s been only a day and the history made here has rippled across the world in a very positive way. There were worlwide celebrations on his victory including Israel, India, Italy, France, Iraq, Iran, China, and especially in Kenya, where Obama’s father was born, and Indonesia, where Obama went to school in his early childhood.

The New York Times released an article describing Obama as a “promise” to rest of the world. Fox News even published a story “Obama: President of the World?” wherein there are numerous mentions of joyous celebrations around the planet. The article is accompanied by a picture gallery reflecting the happiness of the inhabitants of the world. The words like “world community” or “international citizen” seems not that hypothetical anymore — at least not for our president-elect Obama.
