All the best, Obama!

Obama is the new President of United States. This makes me emotional! Tears almost ready to drop off my eyes! This is something really big. Someone who probably would be a slave 100 years ago...

This has changed the way I look at the US of A.
In the past 8 years I have seen the US go down in my eyes and the eyes of the world. From a country that lead the world, in military might, technology ,wealth, a world  of equal opportunities to a intolerant,ignorant, uncouth, tasteless,bigoted, religious, bully country,full of country bumpkins, Whose have world cups whose only participants are Americans! Who will bomb anyone for oil. who dono a sikh from an Arab.

Now the people of this country have forced me to sit up and ....Well..  They have voted for a "Barrack Hussein Obama", A Black man!!! With a Muslim middle name!! African Father!! 

Yeah he is not a typical black man, he was brought up by white grandparents, not poor bla bla and all that.Yeah Yeah! But In my eyes, the country has shown what it has stood for. It has shown that it can rise above prejudice and choose for a change. Choose for a big leap! 

Yeah, what all I said before may still be true about Americans but the world and me have been forced to change our views for a bit.

Hope the difficult times have helped the mighty learn a humble lesson, Wish the man and his country all the very best.
As they say, 
God bless America!!
