Since a little before the November elections I have found my self a little pre-occupied with campaign of Barack Obama and when he won I felt very good about the future. I haven't had a chance to watch the full inauguration yet but I have it on Sky+ and I can't wait to watch it. I truly believe that he can make substantial differences to the USA. But the thing that makes this a little unusual is that I am British.

The reason I am so interested in the new leader of an entirely different country is because as much as I tried to deny it before I find my self proud now to say that what happens on the large scale in America does affect us here in England and in other places of the world.

President Obama is now the most powerful person in the world and I, Usually fearing that kind of power in the hands of one man, actually feel very good about it. I think I can say on behalf of many Brit's that we have a lot of faith in the new President.

It may seem that the colour of his skin is an important factor, it was around the time of the election and it is now in the sense that it shows that people have come far enough to be able to look past racist pre-dispositions and see a bigger picture. But the most important thing about him now is what kind of person he is, what kind of leader he is and the things that he does with his new found power and I have no doubt that he will make history not as the 1st black president but as the man who lead us from these dark times into a better world.

No pressure or anything!

I just wanted to get this out in the world to show that England has as much faith in Obama as anybody! GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!
