THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA


Today the world watches Senator Barack Obama sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America. There is no doubt about it that a greater number of the Americans are so excited about seeing the supposed change that dominated the political atmosphere for the last one year being inaugurated in the person of Obama. However apart from seeing the first African American elected as the President of the United State of America which is enough as a sign that Americans are serious about wanting change, there is no evidence yet that the election of Obama to the White House will bring about peace in the Middle East in particular and the world in general. There is still much to be accomplished in the economic sector before we can begin to see changes that is really worth calling change. The election of Obama to the white house generates much excitement across the globe and it has been a great source of entertainment too. Obama's speech as usual is admirable expecially his mastery of the language with which he communicates and his ability to speak it fluently as he conveys his message. A charismatic Leader and a lovely father and husband Obama is a role model across the globe. His story is a glaring example of how God intervenes in a unique way to solve human social problems and enthrone a personality that will bring about the fulfilment of the aspiration of a people that seek fot justice and social justice. Right now there is hope in the mail box of every American. Let us wish them well. Meanwhile the Obama official limousine is christened 'The Beast' If Obama had been elected in a European country I would have warned that we should beware of him being the biblical beast but he is not so no panic. However I believe Obama stands for a new era not only in American politics but also the world. Events will unfold this. Obama was realistic to tell Americans that there is not going to be a magical move that will put things in better shape immediately. The world,America inclusive should be ready to go through an era of economic belt tightening and self discpline. Goodluck America, Welcome to the white House President Obama.
