General Coments =   My loving Brother i greet you in the name of Jesus Christ, today the whole world are celebrating you not because you are the first
African-American President of U.S.A but because of the wisdom God have giving you,as i continue to pray for more wisdom and success of your administration and
those of your Allies be mindfull that not all (even from within) would want you to succeed because in every thwelf  there must be Judas, be calculative in decissions.
However, today you stand with diverse meanings to different peaple, but to me you stand as the symbol of peace,justice and equity, freedom and change. Please use
your good office to enthrone all these virtures in the world especially to the continent of Africa where our people are suffering not because of the absence of natural
and human resourses but because of selfish currupt leaders and renegades who have vowed to stop at notting in making sure that Africa will never see the light of
freedom and hope. Mr!
President, many Africans in diaspora including students would wish against their 'will' to remained in pepatual excile in their various countries and some have already
done that just because the likes of Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and the disgruntled politians and cabals in Nigeria who has made election rigging, executive
intimidations, wasting of talented youths and hunger in the land their 'modus opprandi' while they seat and milk dry the state resourses and their children even with
emty brains are found in highest paid schools in the world put the fear of the unkwown in the land. Finally Sir, Africa have been yearning for Freedom, Change And
Hope, and today you stand as the symbol and oracle of the the three. PLEASE HELP LIBRATE AFRICA THE TIME IS NOW. God bless You, God Bless Africa!

What do you like or dislike about Obama? = He is very inspiring.  
What do you see as Obama's greatest strengths? = His inclusiveness.  The way he ran his campaign, he asked the voters what he wanted them to comment on.  Also
his integrity.  He is committed to peace and has already given the order to decommission the facility Guanatanamo Bay.  
What do you think that Obama could improve on? = His election is being welcomed all over the world.  I am concerned to see how much change he will bring about
for African Americans.  Also, what are his policies re Afghanistan?  Will it just be more of the same?  
General Coments = You have given the impression that you are committed to peace.  You certainly appear to be a man of strong integrity.

Like many, I have been swept along by a tide of euphoria at your election and inauguration.  This could be a profoundly historic moment for African Americans and
for people everywhere.  

I have been very emotional and tearful as I have seen your success within the context of African American people's struggles, and African people's struggles
everywhere.  

You have a knowledge of your own history as a man of Kenyan parentage, even though your father was absent and, it seems, did not participate in your upbringing.  

We are in the midst of a global financial crisis.  You know you are facing a hard task and we all have some tough times ahead - you have said so many times.  You
have not presented yourself as some kind of saviour with instant solutions you can pull out of your back pocket, and I respect you for this. Yet, I wonder whether
we are investing too much hope and optimism in you.  It is simply too soon to tell.  

I have some concerns about what your election will mean for African American people, but I am prepared to hold back on criticism and give you a chance to show
what you can do.  

You may be interested in my articles:  Celebrating Barack Obama http://www.squidoo.com/Celebrating-Obama and Obama's Inauguration Day
http://www.squidoo.com/Obama-s-Inauguration, in which I give the view from Brixton and details of celebrations in other countries.  

I wish you all the best.  I wish you peace and long life.  This has the potential to be a great moment for all of us.  The future is in your hands.

Your E-mail = franciskizito@gmail.com
General Coments = I first send my congraturation message to president elect Obama for his historical achievement for he was trusted by the millions of Americans to
take America to another level of democracy,economic recovery,human security to mention but a few.However I believe the tasks set before him is not a simple one
especially looking at the current and international relationships.The American people dearly needed change and guaranteed security to mantaint their national pride and
protection of their inerests and iam sure this is the very reason that they casted their votes to the one they most had hope and Barak Obama looked northing else than
the only symbal of trust and  hope.More to note is that the rest of the world is looking and waiting to here your voice and support to the International criminal court
(ICC) in trying those who make crimes against humanity.
Iam one Ugandan who has put trust and hope to believe in Obamas Idealogies inspired by his speech and motivated by abilities,as a young leader dedicate much time
and interest to be such a leader like him despite the imarginary defferences we might share but all i believe in is that i share the same dream with him.Hope never runs
dry.

I have returned to school, working on my bachelor's with a major in Teaching ESL.  I became Deaf five years ago and could not longer work in the field I was in.  I
am taking Linguistic classes and need to present research on ESL and the units of language.  I came across an article that stated Japanese children are learning English
through the assistance of your speeches.  Your book is the number one selling book in Japan on your speeches.
I found that to be so fascinating. You should be proud that one of our neighboring countries has taken such an interest. My instructor asked me to bring in the article
and share it with our class.
Thank you Mr. President!
Sincerely,
Mary K. Preis

General Coments = Mr President,
First of all congratulations on winning the elections.
I hope that you can achieve as much as you have planned to.
I wanted to just put an idea to you, it might sound silly at the moment but it was silly to think of having a man on the moon years ago.
I'm French and teach French in primary schools, my husband is Italian and a chef in secondary school. Our dream is to come and live in America.
Not to do any terrorism or anything wrong, just to work hard and maybe one day open our own restaurant. we have 3 young children who work hard at school and
are good children.
We tried to get visas, but we have found out that we have to gamble money to play a lottery to try to have a visa to come to America ?
I don't believe in gambling, I don't even play the normal lottery, why do we have to throw money away for a dream that we want so hard.
We want to be there legally and work hard, how can this become possible ?
We don't want LA or NY. A quiet state would do us just fine.
I realise that you probably will never read this, but as my dad use to say if you don't try or don't ask you will never know. Thank you for your time.
Kind regards.

General Coments = Go back to where you came from.  Stop destroying my country.  I am sick to death of you talking bad about America.  You really are a very bad
bad bad person who is as bad as Hitler.  I figure you out long before you became President.  It was not hard all I did was research who you were.  The fact that you
refused to give out a copy of your Birth Certificate told me I was 1 million percent right.  You need to take your power hungry Hillary Hitler with you as well.  I am
not Muslim you are and your very bad father has trained you to be a sleeper.  I am sick to death of it.  Guess what you evil little man I will not become a Muslim.  I
will not give up my freedom for your power hungry plays.  I do not want to join a World order because that is about power, haltered and control.  I will be on the
front lines fighting you every step of the way.  You claim to want freedom will the way to do that is through the refusal of allowing any government to become
powerful!
who is a dictatorship, King Ship, Religion ship or communism.  You think the way like your terrorist farther taught you is through making friends with all of those
governments and then becoming one here.  I did not vote for you and I am looking for who did vote for you because when it comes right down to it I don't think
many people actually did which means you not only ran when you did not even meet the constitutional  qualifications but that you also stuff the ballot box.  So leave
us and go back to your Muslim extreme friends and don't come back.  You even refuse to destroy the pirates who are holding an American Captain.  If you actually
loved the US you would have had our navy destroy the pirate fleet.  You don't love us you hate this country that you have adopted.  You are evil and you are the
sleeper who will become know as the Anti Christ so go bad to your middle east and leave my country.

General Coments =
It might help President Obama to read an article, which came to my attention recently.
It would be nice if he could draw his own conclusions. I am sure he will do so.
Its all about bringing Bismark's idea for social security for Germany to the next level. This means a level adapted to our times of recession 2009 and the future by
saving the economy. How? He may please find the article,  I find highly interesting  <a
href="http://www.archiv-grundeinkommen.de/kipping/200702-human.pdf"target="_blank"> here.</a> By the looks of it, this is the work of a German student for an
educational department,  such as a university.

My own thoughts on President Obaman and its image:

Racism in America and repercussions for World racism by Barrack Obama as American president.

Racism in America is a theme written about in ezinesarticles.com, often.
Indeed, the main event of 2009 in the USA in November was drawing much attention
in this context.   When its election heat for a new president of America came to a peak the world was mesmerized.

Would the American constitution proof in fact, that we are all equal, last not least? Would this cast more dignity and recognition for every race on our globe, indirectly?
Would there be hope for an end of racism in America and elsewhere?  

Not only America but, also many in the remotest parts of this earth were watching in amazement, when a non white person was runner up to become the leader of the
most advanced country of the earth.

More than we might think loved it to point fingers at racism in America, above all in the early parts of last century. Still around 1950,  the author's friend,  Bob
Jackson,  an Afro American,  could only enter Chicago University with a body guard due to racial tensions. Mr. Jackson retired from the American army and stayed in
Frankfurt/Main Germany in 1970. He said that he preferred to live in a less racist German place than in America. By the way, his mother managed to become a
medical doctor earlier on. This also shows that racial conditions in USA were not the same at all times.

Even people in rural areas such as Swaziland and Tuvalu of Polynesia were puzzled due to the 2009 presidential elections in America.  Hair razing history of racist
based incidents is known everywhere.

Global and national interest or curiosity helped to turn the later president into an idol. He had the right qualities including the perfect charisma to merit this.  The good
general rules are, the right idol may help to eradicate racism everywhere.  This may include the Mississippi Delta or some northern Red Indian community, where
skepticism  may still remain strong.
