An American Election

It is November 5th, 2008 and a new dawn for American Politics. We seem to have made a huge transition from previous politics lead by ideology, fear and ciniscism to hope and reason. This long and ardous battle for the hearts and mind pitted people who have long thrived on fear based on race color, religion and those who wanted to transcent all of that and embrace life liberty and pursuit of happiness as envisaged in our original doctrine. We have now embraced a new path, maybe unknown but at least has a chance of fundamentally changing how we precieve our place in humanity. For the Barak I hope you live up to your promise and image, the hopes and dreams of a lot of young people are on you. You have shown that someone with no priviledged background, brought up by a single mother with the help of grand parents can climb to the very top, that too at an age of 47. It is a fantastic acheivement.
