I've seen American Presidents who wanted to make this world - not just the United States - a better place. Most of them believe in what they did and thought it was the right thing to do, but some of them have been wiser than others. Some of them saw the problems in their country and all around the world more clearly than others and found better solutions to help the people and the planet.
I believe that President Obama will be wise enough to see clearly, to decide carefully, to lead responsibly. I believe that this man who has lived so many different stages of his life, who has had so many different roots, so many different influences... I believe that a man like him could hardly act ruthlessly.
I believe that he could talk to different groups in the world with more understanding.
How could he have a lack of understanding towards muslim people if his grandfather was a muslim?
How could he ignore the problems of Africa if 50% of his blood is Kenyan?
How could he not understand the problems of divorced families, having lived this situation himself?
How could he be idle, if he saw suppression, having fought the system of apartheid as a student?
No, I absolutely believe that President Obama will be a great president, who shall make this a more peaceful, a happier, and a more honest and harmonic place.
Even though I know he has never been to Europe - which is very sad for him - I believe that eh will find his way to deal with Europeans too. And I believe as well, that being 46 is not too young to be president. The opposite is the case. I DON'T believe that people who may have to live 10 or 15 years longer should take decisions for generations to come.
That's what I am thinking about Mr. Obama as a future president of the United States.
And now I'm just waiting and hoping for the Americans to make my dreams come true!
