for the world has changed

what hasn't been blogged and dissected of Obama? The vapid media saturation had become quite tiresome leading up to the inauguration, to the degree where the monumental significance of the event was getting lost in the sea of Barak action figures, t-shirts, buttons and bumper stickers. All of this was never necessary for us to realize it's a great day for everyone the world over. His delivered vision of freedom touched me especially after experiencing countries with no such luxury. The term "patchwork heritage" was brilliantly used to indicate America's direction towards a nation of equality, whose successes and happiness are not measured by its GDP but by the reach of its prosperity. I for one believe that even a nation as powerful as America cannot affect positive change in its neighbours and our planet if it doesn't rise above the restraints of inequality and tensions among its own people first. That's where only a man like him, born of the average class and biracial no less, can lead the country out of the melting pot that has stifled it far too long.
