President Obama’s vision of change reached across oceans

Congratulations America, may this be the dawn of a new era not only for youselves but for the entire world.

Although not an America and living many thousands of miles and many oceans away, I sat glued to the TV last night, watching, at 41 years of age,  my first American Presidential Election. 

Ive never been interested in politics before, but now more than ever I want change in our world.  I  want us all to live in a world where peace and prosperity is available for everyone and in a world where our environment is respected and cared for. 

Barack Obama’s vision that so inspired all of you, inspired me also. His message reached far outside your borders and gave me hope. He instilled in me a belief that change is possible.

When the results were announced, the emotions were overwhelming. Tears of pride and tears of admiration overflowed for you, who as a nation, found your way to unite together, stand up and let your voices be heard and counted.  

Barack Obama being voted in as the 44th President Of the United States Of America was one of the most significant world events I have witnessed. Well done America!  Be proud. I am very proud of you. Today on this most historical of days,  you gained in me a great new fan of the american people.

May this be the dawn of a new era in the way our world takes care of its people and its environment.  With a strong, sincere and caring leadership, its possible. May President Obama lead the way and inspire other nations to follow and may we all accept the responsibility to do our share.
