President Barack Obama.

For the past couple of years my father has been reminding me that I am an Australian citizen, not an American.
Since 2006 I have been swept up in Obama mania.
I have watched debates.
Read interviews.
Read his books.
Listened to his ideas and hopes for the future. Not just for his country, but for the world.
We are also totally friends on MySpace...

As a citizen of the world, I am proud that a man with such wonderful visions for every man, woman and child has been elected to the position of President of the most influential country on the planet.

I woke up this morning at 3am to watch the live televised coverage of the inauguration.
It was amazing and worth how tired I am today. The amount of people that were there to see this monumental occasion was astonishing. Approx 2 million I heard at one point and billions watching in their homes. (and I hear it was like 0 degrees....)
These people were there witness something that many people never thought would happen in their lifetime.
I wish I could have been there. The atmosphere must have been electric. Maybe if President Obama runs again in 2012, I'll make the trip across the Pacific.

He has a lot of work to do, but I believe he, along with Vice President Biden, and the rest of his staff, can do it. He know what he is up against, and he knows Americas (and the worlds) problems wont be solved overnight. But he has faith that he can do it.

Best of Luck to President Obama!

Peace.

P.S. How classy is Michelle Obama!? Seriously.
I want to be her...
and the cuties that are Sasha and Malia, are going to grow up in front of the whole world.. Gulp.
