20th January 2009

I cannot help being a bit excited about what looks to me as being a special beginning starting tomorrow.
Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th US President.

As a European I’ve been sorry (and angered) to follow the now outgoing administration and it’s disappointing and less than constructive way of managing the last 8 years. Bush years: 8 years in 8 minutes says it all.

I hope and believe the new president will bring something entirely different to the table and guide his nation and people to another level of resourcefulness, commitment and responsibility.
Time will tell if that happens, but I’m crossing my fingers.

As I am interested in what goes on in American politics I’ll be following closely. So while the new president goes to work I’ll still enjoy the funny stuff from the last 8 years.

It´s pretty cool that something like this is happening.
i just hope they let him do what it needs to be done.
Still i find it really incredible how amazed we are because a black person is for the first time president in the USA the so called “land of the free”. We shouldn´t be that amazed… this should be normal. Anyway…

I’ve never really thought about the fact that the new president is an African-American. I am optimistic and hopeful because I see a true leader in him and his words about we need to take a new approach to the challenges that lie ahead instead of choosing the same old solutions sound a chord in me. I say we because I am convinced that if future generations are to live in a better world than we do we all need to prioritize differently and take more care of each other and the world we live in. That’s saying a lot, but we have to start somewhere and that’s the message I hear when Obama speaks. I may be naive but time will tell if this is indeed a new beginning to solving some very serious issues.

On the other hand I’m delighted that other guy is gone. I mean – read this:

“The President believed that by helping build free and prosperous societies, our Nation and our friends and allies can succeed in making America more secure and the world more peaceful.” from biography of George W. Bush.

Prosperous societies, the world more peaceful ??? Right !

Jesper, I’ll be crossing my fingers on Thursday.
