Yes we can !


A Black man president of the US Wow!! I still cannot believe it. Forty years ago if anyone would have suggested that a black man will occupy the highest position in the US if not in the world, he would have been laughed at or ridiculed. Times have changed from the days of segregation and apartheid. Obama’s story is unique and when he says his story is not possible in any other country, I can’t disagree. Martin Luther’s dream of white America and black America walking hand in hand may finally come true.
I am a big fan of Barrack Obama ,read all his books heard all his speeches .I feel he represents hope for America if not the whole world. Hope that the world becomes a more peaceful place. Will he be able to convert talk to action is the big question. Will he be able to implement his Idea into action in these troubled times. The expectations are too high and probably incapable of fulfillment by any president. Time will be the ultimate judge.
After following the election in the US,I hope one day we will have leader in India who evokes the same kind of passion that Obama does. A person who doesn’t speak about religion ,caste , status. Who doesn’t win election by dividing a country but rather by unifying it. A person who says everybody in India are created equal be it Muslim ,Hindu ,Christian ,SC/ST ,OBC ,rich or poor everybody has an equal opportunity to put in their hard work and succeed.
I Hope.....
