Hope at last…..

After eight years of despair at the messages and actions emanating from the United States, at last I feel there is cause for real hope.

The election of Barack Obama is a sign of something far bigger than just a shift from Republican to Democrat. It is a sign that, as a nation, America is ready to take it’s place as a force for good in the world.

The American people have let go of the jingoism, bigotry, ignorance and prejudice that has appeared to be their choice for the last eight years and said “Change can happen!”

Well done Barack, well done America. Now we can begin to love you again.
