Obama Won!!

Congratulations to Barack Obama for winning the presidential election. I have to say that I am glad people choose to make a change in the world. Not only American citizens were celebrating Obama’s win but everyone around the country. Once the news came out that he won, people screamed in excitement and hosted many parties. People from Europe and Asia were also sharing in our excitement. Ever since Bush won the election our foreign relations have been estranged. But now with Barack Obama, we have a chance to re-write our relations with foreign countries and start anew. Perhaps America won’t be separated from the rest of the world anymore but a willing participant in all of the world’s issues.
I didn’t get to see his whole speech, but for the most part I liked it. He was very well spoken and put together when confronting the people who had not voted for him. Though I also noticed that his speech was very much like that of Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “ I have Dream”. He spoke of change and hope. And he also addressed how their are many obstacles and how it will take a good amount of time before all of it is solved. He admits how he wont be able to change things in a blink if an eye. But most people will still expect it of him. He is held at very high standards.
