Barack Obama



I was watching live result on America Election and congratulation to Mr. Obama for wining the Presidency. He is now the 44th POTUS. The first black man to become the president when just about 150 years ago the black is only a slave. The speed of the progress has attract lots of attention from around the world to watch with interest for many harbor the same hope of change.

While Mr Obama intended policies undoubtedly good for Americans, the health care for poor, taxes cut for middle income groups, creating jobs by bringing back to America all the industries that have been relocated overseas. In other word, Obama is the last hope of the American Dream that is left.

What we should concern is not all about his domestic policy, it has nothing to do with us. It is his foreign one that make me little bit worried. what would happen if he really pull back all those troops in Iraq and Afghanistan? Would we the rest of the world be left out in fighting terrorism by ourselves. No matter how much we don't like to admit, USA is the only super power with enough resources to fight Al-Qaeda and is the only thing that North Korea take seriously.

Mr Obama is now facing a difficult time as global economy worsen. Will he triumph and carry his nation out of economy gloom like he promised or will succumb to failure which is bad because as a first black president he'll need to prove his worth. After all, change is something rather easier to say then doing it.

Good luck Mr Obama.
