Obama – now we believe America

We, from the rest of the world, will now take America seriously when it says it is the land of equal opportunity. Obama has won, and is living proof that the dream of Martin Luther King is realized. His victory shows that the minority can have a majority!

Barack Obama, the 44^th president is a symbol of possibility, opportunity and hope realized.

In India, we had a caste system, which is not unlike racism. Our forward castes were generally fair-skinned and the lower ones dark. Our women were oppressed by the chauvinist types, but we have had a woman prime minister and many women ministers. We now have the first woman president of India in office. We have had people from the lower castes in all seats of power.

We have always wondered why the US, with its talk of equality, never had a woman for president or one who was not white-skinned.

Today America has given an answer, and we join our American brothers and sisters in celebration. One day you will have a woman for president, possibly an African-american woman for president, and we believe you.

Now let us celebrate!
