Hi THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR,

I also sent this question to Henry Deacon, but I would also like to get another take on it.

"I too am relieved a little now that Obama has been elected president. However, for sure, he will have a very difficult time ahead of him, two billion dollars is a lot to receive in five and ten dollar bills, I know that companies like GE had backed the president elect. That backing, of course has to receive some sort of return.

I listened with interest to his victory speech, and I was moved by the "Yes we can" part of his words, which I see also affected you as it is the title of your thread.

I am interested to know what you think.

Do you think that the "Yes we can" will be remembered in history like "I had a dream"?

I mean his winning the election will be so important on so many levels that I'm sure the figure Obama will surely be remembered in 50 or 100 years.

But will the phrase and the way it was used be one of those moments that will resist the passage of time?"

Best regards,

Steve

As a none American watching the climax of the US Elections and the speeches of both President Elect Obama and McCain...I breathe a huge sigh of relief that there WILL BE an administration change in the USA.

I reflect on the enormous possibility for REAL CHANGE that has now entered the current paradigm. This is now a time of masssive transition and people of the US should know that in 22 countries polled by the BBC those favourable to Obama winning the US election was 3 to 1.

The whole world wanted this change and at last some sense has prevailed in America and this 'could be' the beggining of a New World, so let us pray and give thank's that maybe...just maybe...this IS the beggining of a NEW ERA!

I invite you all to leave your messages here for the New President Of America or for the People Of The World...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD...

Imagine that if you 'could write a PERSONAL MESSAGE TO OBAMA' what would you say? Leave THAT message here!

Maybe you want to share your feeling's or experiences of the election if you are from the USA, tell us what's going on where you are, how are people reacting, let us know what's going down where you are!

Maybe you want to leave a message for fellow Americans or for others aroun the world, please leave that message here too.

This is an AMAZING moment in history...Let us all embrace it with TRUE HOPE and POSITIVITY...Coz as we THINK...so we CREATE!

The NEW CHAPTER HAS BEGUN...The Whole World IS WATCHING...

As Obama said in his speech - "Change has come to America"!

Woooohoooo ya all and I say respectfully and with total love for you all, let's go Mister Obama, locked, dropped and ready to rock.

My message to him and all of you is simply this -

" YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN...ONE WORLD - ONE LOVE - ONE PEOPLE"!

Peace Out :biggrin2 :
