Hope = Obama?

The US election is a fantastic example of masses of people in euphoric mood. It's like a happy strong America facing side by side with a gloomy economic future that is showing a full force of power coming this 2009. Throngs of Barack Obama supporters cheered on him and enjoy the night away. People from all walks of life enjoyed the scene while Red Republicans sported a frowned face from Arizona to the whole wide spectrum of McCain supporters either living in Mainland America or overseas.

The whole world especially from Kenya were celebrating with joy, even from a small city in Japan named Obama City had been ecstatic about the Obama win, and the rest of the world were so happy because a new change has come for the betterment of America.

World leaders are congratulating the new Commander in Chief and were hoping that America will cease its arrogance on world affairs. The euphoria had done a good thing. It simply showed that people can work hand in hand regardless of skin color, racial ethnicity, political affiliations, and etc.

Rewarding the highest office of the land to minorities such as African Americans is a leap forward for a change in perception on people with color. The black pride is no longer confined to Sports, Entertainment, and Films. The man who John McCain tagged as "That One" had the penchant to be a cool headed leader, a catalyst for a change, and a team player among the rest of the nation's leaders. Moreover, America is back on track that anyone and everyone can reach its dreams on the condition that they work hard enough, that they truthfully serve without stepping anyone's shadows, and living a dignified life.

Let us see how President elect Obama will bring forth the change on his tenure as President. He inspires many people from all walks of life to live and hope. The "Hope" that rough times will turn to joy, the hope that the Wall Street will gain momentum, the hope that health care will be fixed, the hope that the nation will once again will earn the respect of the World Community after making a solo fight in fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The monumental win of the nation's first black leader is a big home run to all Americans, even all the Joes of all trades had earned their winnings because they had shown it to the world that America had moved forward to embrace Hope against any racial profiling. That very moment is now in history. This is now the envy of other world's political strata that America is back to business.

8 years of Bush administration is unveiling the final curtain. The popular rhetoric of war mongering "It's either you with the terrorist or against us" is a closed book. Let's join in one voice that the new mantra is about change and we all say "Yes, We Can".
