Oh Boy! America My America!!

Barack Obama has been chosen as the new president elect of US. What a resounding and convincing victory! This is probably one US presidential election that the whole world had been following with keen interest. It was clear watching the television-result-saga into early hours of morning, that Obama is going to be the first non-white president of US when he will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2009.

Obama has been a ray of hope to the whole world and specifically the US where its been bad news after bad news in every field. In his own words after the victory"America is a place where all things are possible and the "dream of our founders" is alive; "It's been a long time coming but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America"

The whole world it seems hoped and prayed for his victory. In fact a recent BBC poll showed that all the 22 countries that took part in the poll wanted Obama to be the president of US. Everyone hopes that he will improve the situation in US and also its relations with other countries in today's multipolar world.
