If the US 44th President Barac Obama's speech is,
what will really be done, the whole world will be a better place.

Good luck and hard work, to all of us.

When Bush leaned over to Obama and whispered in his ear after the speach, microphones heard him say "Easier said than done"....

It is a great day! There is so much to proud of and yes, words can change the world. President Obama (man it feels good to say that) has challenged the whole world and his speech spoke at the fiber of what our country is all about!

and if you beleive that you need a frontal labotomy.

circumstances are way out of his control
ideas are only good/feasable etc, if they can be implemented
its like saying "i know how to solve obesity"..lets all exercise more, eat healthly...and so on, but if "junk food" is still available, and time dictates that we cant excercise etc, then all those good intentions fall by the way side

he has way to much against him at the moment to stand a fighting chance

but i wish him and USA all the best.

Just curious but why does the rest of the world care who the American president is. I don't even know who runs Finland or Sweden or Belgium etc. Individual Americans have enough to deal with without worrying who is in charge of what country.

I have nothing against BHO but the media induced cult of personality is scaring me.

Let's see how we are doing a year from now...
