BURDEN OF EXPECTATION

Watching the installation of the 44th U.S. President on 20th January 2008 beamed live around the world was akin to being part of history. The human race appeared to have become one huge expectant mass irrespective of their location on the planet.
True to his reputation Barack Obama rose to the occasion by delivering his acceptance speech looking you in the eyes and mostly stating the things that the crowd around the world have been waiting to hear after the eight years of 'bull fight' performed by Bush!!
We the people - as world citizens - now have to rise above petty politics and partisan restrictive actions to rebuild the world. The coming together of billions of people needing to watch the Obama moment indicates that majority of the human race are capable of single minded resolve to make a difference.
The urge to become part of the 'Obama Moment' places immense burden on each one of us to carry through with a renewed sense of purpose in fulfilling the expectation of change which has become critical in varied aspects of our existence so brightly ignited by Barack Hussein Obama.
May God Bless The President and give us the power to make a difference.
