“For everywhere we look, there is work to be done.”

Barack Obama is aware of the importance of his presidency. “Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met.” I liked his inaugural address – he was self-confident, courteous and firm. I am under the impression of his image – natural, smiling, loving husband and father (can’t dance well, unfortunately ;)). And I liked him even more when I got to know that he is left-handed! He must be intelligent :D Being the first Afro-American American President, he IS making history. Therefore, I am glad I witness such an important event.
Personally, I hope for a positive change not only in the US, but also in the world because of the fact that the US has impact on all the world’s issues. I want to believe in Barack Obama’s promises. I have fingers crossed for him. I also wish good luck to his wife and their lovely daughters. I can imagine what a change happened in their lives! I am sure they are proud of Barack Obama’s success but also afraid of what the future may bring them.
“America, in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations. “ said The 44th President of America in his inaugural speech on 20th January 2009 and let those words by my wishes to him.

No one should feel discriminated against under this presidency, I think ;)
