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.

Congratulations Sentor Obama! We now welcome our 44th President of the United States of America. We witnessed and participated in an event which made national and international history towards a hopeful future.
President Obama, we had trust in you and your capability as the leader of our great country and I believe you’ll come through the high expectations of millions of people who support you. It was not easy for you to run for the presidential election with almost no experience against seasoned politicians like Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator McCain, but it will be an even bigger challange ahead of you to repair a broken economy, a divided nation, a never-ending war against terrorism, a soiled image of United States in the international community.
You’ve proven again that America is the land of oppurtunities. You are the American dream and you are the living hope to millions of people struggling everyday and look forward to a better future for themselves and for their children. Your mother and your grandparents have set an example in importance of value parenting. Careful upbringing, seeding the right values and focusing more on American youth will yield more leaders and citizens like youself.
As the President of United States of America, I wish you good luck and may God bless you with wisdom and endurance to steer this nation into a brighter future, to have people believe in this great democracy, and have them believe that the American government is of the people, by the people and for the people, once again.
