Barak Obama's day



Today is the big for all progressive minds, the day in which America will see the coming in of a new president and a president of rare occurence and that is Barak Obama. This is the man that carries the hopes of all people, a man who is a dream for the new dawn of a new world. That is a world in which men and women live side by side appreciating each others strength and abilities without necessarily dwelling on subtle issues like race, gender, religion and cultural differences.


That is a world in which equality is embodied in the very nature of being human. The wisdom and ability to mobilize young people who are often time apathetic, especially when it comes to involvement in political issues and as well as his leadership style in which he has not allowed a gulf to be created between his party and his adversaries, allows him to have the much needed resource in his new term as an American 44th president. Young people are the future, thus their involvement in decisions about their countries always ought to be captivated. The selection of his government team in which he has managed to coolly allow himself the freedom of engaging the republicans in his cabinet makes this man a president that is defining history- appreciating that the republican party has largely failed, mostly due to poor international relations, with two wars being simultaneously faught in Iraq and afghanistan. These are some of the political decisions that had been the focal points during the campaign. Areas which made the two camps look at each other with red eyes, yet at this moment, Obama has managed to reach out, indicating that America is for all without necessarily dwelling on little issues of party affiliation. Together America will rise out of its troubles- yes, this will happen! the journey might be long but if all are awakened to take part in the process, young and old, women and men, America has a future and Obama will forever be a figure to be reckoned with in the walls of history
