The Peoples President

Barack Obama makes me wish I were an American. If the pen were indeed mightier than the sword then Presidents Obama’s words surely vindicate his position as one of the most powerful men in the world.

The man, clearly has a way with words and at his inauguration today; he addressed his nation calling on every man, woman and child of every creed to do their bit in helping to make the world a brighter place. To his enemies he issued a warning and to others he extended a hand of friendship.

He addressed the hardships ahead and expressed hope and vigour in facing these challenges.

Handling the speech with diplomacy and elegance coming from an assorted background, he is able to strike a chord within every person and make his words relevant to every man. This is what all presidents should be like.

The world needs more leaders like him, leaders who can articulate positive thought, to sit down as heads of nations, to reason, to compromise, to co-exist peacefully and to build a better future for all.
