Like my daughter (above in the white and red t-shirt), Obama had a white mother and a black father, and he's a Third Culture Kid who lived in Asia as a child. AND, as I mentioned with strong emphasis, his mother used to wake him up every morning at 4 AM to tutor him in English before he went to school. I make her work on her French when she comes back from school every single day, and she doesn't like it anymore than Obama did. Yes, I have no shame and I will use anything to make my self-imposed duty easier :)
Congratulations, Barack Obama ! And thank you for giving the world so much hope !

I have no words :-)
I'm on the same boat Katia, my daughters felt very committed too, especially as Obama is originally from Kenya like them. We had a long talk this evening and the news inspired in their "young" brain new thoughts and feelings.
Remember "I have a dream"? In these word. is written our children's future.
Best Valentina:)
Yes!!! America is finally repointed in the right direction and ready to do some hard work in the world to repair the damage we've done.
Yes, it will be a hard journey for him, no doubt, but what a privilege (and well deserved) to carry so much hope for so many people, and literally all across the world. He is truly a global leader and the world needed one so badly. I have had shivers all over my body practically non-stop since yesterday. :)
Thank you, Jo Ann, Valentina and Janet for sharing your joy with us.
