On Jan. 20, 2009 while giving his Inauguration Address, the United States wasn't the only nation celebrating President Obama's political success. Many other countries also joined in on wishing the incoming Administration well.
From Europe to Asia to Africa, his inauguration was seen as a new beginning, offering new hope to the entire world. A hurting world desperately seeking answers and willing to work with the U.S. to help achieve positive solutions.
In Kenya the homeland of his father, they sang out Barack Obama's name.
In Donegal, Ireland, they cheered, "There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama!"
In Japan they rang the Ceremonial bell in the town that bears his last name. (Obama, Japan)
In Russia, a young man who was interviewed said, "All of a sudden we have this smart guy running the United States."
Yes! It most certainly appears as if President Barack Hussein Obama has become Leader of the entire world.
WOW!
