America leads again

Under the watchful eyes of the world America has once again made history. For an overwhelming majority, Obama’s victory creates the possibility for a ‘new’ America. One that is no longer white, homogeneous and singular; but rather multi-racial, heterogeneous and pluralist.

“We as a people” are part of a historic moment in our lives, Obama
said, that glorious night in Grand Park, IL recounting America’s brightest threshold moments from Lincoln’s Inaugural address to the fall of the Berlin wall, Americans have been at the center of all these transcendental events, and Obama’s victory will go down in history as the day America finally ‘evolved’.

Many of our allies in the world have yet to see a moment like this take
place on their own turfs. As the perpetual light bearer of the world, America has shown the ability to startle the world with our passion, our optimism and our sense of renewed hope. It is a place, finally, where the content of our President’s character is more important than his cultural background.
