Well it's happened just like I had been saying to some people many months ago a Democrat would get to the Whitehouse! I said around 18 months ago it would be a Democrat leading Capitol Hill. I said either would be a first.....a first woman president or a first black president and lo and behold I were right.
This folks is monumental, this is the Kennedy moment of our era, I say this now not because a black man is now the leader of the free world, but because America is finally changing, overcoming it's prejudices and actually electing a man who will make a difference. What you should see happening in the coming hours, weeks and days is leaders the world over going out of their way to congratulate the President-Elect, most will try to network with him and develop and ongoing relationship which has often soured under the Bush administration.
As a result of Obama's election, overnight worldwide opinion of America will change. Suddenly countries which were frosty and cold towards America will soften their stance and offer an open hand toward the new president, leaders will view America as a changed country, a country that has finally began to embrace global ideals of the world, a country that has finally began to to shine as the true beacon of the land of the free, yeah one man can really make that much of a difference.
So my friends, change has finally come and as is always the case it usually starts there in the states....when they change so do we so expect come 2010 here in blighty we should see some form of new government.....in what colour even I can't predict!
Ciao! x
