Yes We Can and Yes We Will

"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America". Barack Obama

What an historical week its been. Barak Obama's Democratic party win the US 2008 elections and he becomes the first African American US President elect.

I, like a few for some years now I guess felt the nagging feelings of anti war, anti capitalist and anti america since the start of the Iraq war.

So how do you change a countries image? How do you reinvent the feel good factor again? How do you reunite the country and give the people Hope once more?

Tough questions, but the answer most definately would lie with the election of Obama this week. In an election campaign Hope and Change were instrumental powerful words.

His victory speech was nothing short of perfection. Where once Martin Luther King had 40 years prior told the people "We shall overcome" and "I've been to the promised land" Obama told the people "Yes we can" and " We as a people will get there"

I hope they do. America needs change and Obamas the best man for the job.

Shame we dont have any charismatic leaders in Britain. We just have boring Mr Gordon. Is it any wonder no one bothers to vote in general elections here?
