Waiting for the Inauguration

On the eve of the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States,people around the world are excited like never before.The only other President who ignited whole world during the recent times was John F Kennedy.People all over accepted Kennedy's words,"My fellow citizens of the world,ask not what America will do for you but what,together we can do for the freedom of man"
His oratory evoked hope for the whole world especially for the youth for whom he was an icon.It was a sort of assurance to the world that America will stand for justice and freedom.
However,the American dream died gradually for many around the world as successive presidents pursued the interests of only the rich and the powerful.Things became worse during last couple of years when Washington tried to destabilise nations allegedly to help big American oil companies.
Finally, the world was pushed in to a severe economic crisis since Great Depression by the Wall Street corporations and greedy financial institutions aided by the inactive regulators of capital market.
What is so special about this election in America?This time the whole world voted for the future president of States much before the American voters made up their mind.Right from Buenos Aires to Birlin to Mumbai it was only Obama Obama.
Once again our hopes and aspirations are raised by the man from Hawai who enterd politics with a "genuine sense of mission to make life better for most people in the middle class."
Ronald Regan declared in 1981 that "government is not the solution to our problem,government is the problem"
Obama believes that" a pro-active leadership with honesty and integrity can provide solutions for the people"
We are all waiting for OBAMA to lead us to a progressive and peaceful world out of this severe recession.
