Good Morning...I am still amazed by the scenes I witnessed last night during the inauguration of the 44th President of U.S.A. - Barrack Hussein Obama - the pomp and pageantry, but most of all, the wave of human emotion , sense of victory, accomplishment, sacrifice, hope and most of all the possibility of what change truly means when we made a decision to become what we desire to be and achieve.
I decided to stay up for the live telecast be part of this extraordinary moment for mankind - to celebrate the unrelenting spirit of the human race that we can be ONE ....it was awesome to witness the colourful diversity of Americans gathering together in the millions to honour and celebrate the triumph of the belief in their constitution of Freedom to be who they choose to be - with this installation of the first Black African in history to the position of the most powerful position in America and of the world - the President of the United States of America.
I can still remember some discussions a few months ago, when he won the Democratic nomination aganst Senator Hillary Clinton, that this would be as far as he would go - already an unbelievable success for a black man to win this lady who was once the First Lady of the President of USA. But as his campaign progressed the results seemed to say - America may be on its way to create history ...and sure enough, he plodded on, sparing no sacrifice, steadfast in his commitment, clear in his vision and holding on to his belief in the perseverance and possibility of the human spirit - and on January 20, 2009 he stepped on the podium to take the oath of office as 44th President of the nation.
He certainly is an epitome of Hope, Change and Possibility for the world ...very timely in the current global atmosphere of economic downturn and dismal gloomy business outlook.
