President Obama

[smrdr...@gmail.com]

Just like millions of others I waited for the results of the US
Presidential election.

Well, the historic event happened, America chose a new President not
because he was black but because of his appeal to a majority of
Americans. As I said in my last e news some loved him, some did not
like him and some really thought it was McCain’s turn. There is a
famous expression in the community where I grew up. When the time is
right, nothing can stop change.

Whatever happened is immaterial. The important thing is the character
of America.America is truly the land where everyone and anyone can aim
for the impossible. The majority white population proved they could
vote for a person from another race. It is not the color of the skin
but the policies of the candidate.

Secondly, the gracious concession speech by the defeated candidate
McCain said so much about the person.

Thirdly, Obama’s acceptance speech was equally gracious Read the book
Say it like Barack Obama.

Fourthly, America is indeed able to lead because of its ability to
change and reinvent when it matters most.

Fifth, like most others I sat glued to the television and sat in
amazement as I saw vivid pictures of great personalities in joy and
sorrow.If only every country in the world could accept that democracy
is about not just winning but the free choice of people, the world
will be a better place to live.

He is truly a great leader simply because he strategised his campaign
and flawlessly executed it.
