What a Sport!

I read this in the main headline of Yahoo web page a while ago. I find it very amusing and worthy of sharing...I think!

Pres. Obama was giving a speech and while doing so, his US President decal fell off the podium. So he quickly checked and asked "Was it my...?" People were starting to snicker and a few laugh could be heard. Pres. Obama was so game to even laugh on the mishap and said "You all know who I am" and "Someone at the back is very nervous right now...Don't you think?"

He is such a sport. He knows how to have a good laugh. What a sport!

Inauguration of President Obama

I am neither an American nor a resident of USA but I honestly felt that President Obama may be the answer (apart from the nation's fervent prayers) to US' current crisis. I suddenly felt elated and weepy (ok, I am mushy!) because a lot of people supported President Obama. I also pray that he be guided by the grace of our Lord to rule a nation which can bring positive change to the world.

"Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again
the work of remaking America." - Barack Obama

Congratulations President Obama! Spread your goodwill!

What's in store for US of A?

Now that Mr. Obama has been elected as the 44th president of the US of A, he has a lot of cleaning up to do. He is going to face a big challenge when he starts his official day in the White House.

I cannot help but hope for the best to come for USA. I have always have this soft spot for the US since I have relatives and friends there. I hope and pray that US will come out of the financial quagmire it is in at the moment with the help of the able President Obama and his Vice.

We all go through burdens in our lives and so are our countries no matter where we reside. However, with the mighty US as one economic giant affecting other countries like my home country, we could only pray for positive things.

So, what's in store for US now that they have a new president? If I were to voice out my hopes, I want US to pull out from the crazy war and solve the war within (poverty, economic crisis, homeless people, recession, diseases and the thinning moral fiber of a nation), better education, support for the US troops and to provide more jobs to their people and to those who find greener pasture in the land of milk and honey.

These are just hopes from someone who is neither an American nor a resident of the US. Someone who believes that US will come out of whatever battle it has at the moment - a winner!
