He is a human being! Lets hope that the US use this as a time to stop thinking of their country as 'the' greatest country but 'a' great country amongst great countries and a place where great things are possible. And that we, the world and all human beings, are in this together. He is black and white and he is American.

He is a human being!

We have seen the corrective power of democracy at work. In one mighty sweep, America has won back respect from the whole world. Not even the greatest army in the world is able to enforce this respect . Instead of being the schoolyard bully, America can start regain the true leadership of the democratic world.

It is not a matter of being black or white. It was high time that a new, charismatic leader who has the ability to move masses and bring people of all races together took over the White House. I hope that the change that you've so long waited for will be rewarded. A toast to OBAMA!! Mary Obege (Munich, Germany) CONGRATULATIONS USA!!!

However, how do you think his rise to power will renew the ideals of our founding fathers, especially when every time he speaks he talks of wanting to take away more of your individual rights? I do NOT want government to do more for me, they should be doing less. People should be the ones making a commitment to do more, and should have the freedom to choose how to spend the money they earn. Don't you find it insulting to have someone tell you that the government would be more capable handling your money and your life choices than you are? That is exactly what Barack is doing when he want to enact more programs. We don't need more dependancy on government. Hard working individuals made this country great, not hard working government. Look where that has gotten us. Marcus,

Obama has renewed the ideals of the founding of this country; by his election, the values of equality and freedom exist for everyone, not just for those who are in the majority. President Obama is a symbol of hope for all of humanity. His rise to power tells us that even a descendant of slaves can be a world leader and hold the highest office in the united states of america. Let Freedom Ring. I'm a proud to be an American this day.
