could i be as excited..

as these people are about their president, as proud and as inspired as these people are about their chief executive, and as hopeful and as unified in purpose with their leader? one day, i hope, i too will live long enough to see that dream...



in the meantime, i am particularly drawn to these lines in his inaugural speech, "To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history"...."but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents"..."bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction"..."What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them — that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply"..oh hell, i am just overwhelmed with the whole speech..

on the other side of the world, a new chapter in history is definitely being written..For the world has changed, but are we, on our side of the world, ready to write our own history?..
