The election of Illinois Senator Barrack Obama as the 44th president of the United States of America heralds a new chapter in the political history of the world. It is the ultimate indication that the racial relations in the world have gone full circle and that any talented individual irrespective of his colour or race can actualize their highest aspirations.
Senator Obama is a citizen of the world. Born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and an American mother, reared in Indonesia and Hawaii, Obama is the exemplification of the world as one global village. He is the personification of the innate desires, hopes, aspirations and expectation of Africans and all other coloured peoples in the world. His success is their triumph against long held mythical beliefs of intellectual differentiation across racial groups. Never before in the history of mankind has such an onerous responsibility been placed on the shoulders of one man. Senator Obama has proved that he is capable of changing the world and the American have demonstrated their faith and trust in his capacity by electing him into the White House. We salute the American people for taking their place of pride in history. Congratulations America! You have shown your greatness by changing the course of world history; by choosing direction over complexion. God bless America, God bless Americans, God bless Obama, and God bless the world.
