The election results of November 4, 2008, have proved that Americans have lived up to the tradition of a truly free nation and paid a resounding tribute to the principles of the founding fathers, by electing Obama, by an overwhelming majority of electoral-college, 338/158. However, this is not a victory of a race or religion, even a political party, but depictive and reflective of American choice of a leader, Obama, with a set of requisite positive traits to meet the challenges of 21st Century, not only for the good of Americans, but also humanity at large. Obama's first speech after announcement of his victory is entirely reflective of this objective reality. Now let's hope and pray for the best in these tumultuous times.
