Where were you when history was made several hours ago when Barack Obama was elected as the first African-American president ever of the United States of America? I was in Japan of course and the news coverage of it here in Tokyo is making headlines left and right. The official announcement made while I was still at follow-up training in Zushi and there was a collective cheer as most of the group I was with are Americans and Obama supporters. The Republicans have been in power for something like 30 years? Obama's message has been loud and clear and the results show the global support he has.
When January 2009 rolls around and he's officially put into power we'll see how fast policy changes are implemented and if he can truly stop the war in Iraq. The people have spoken and it looks like hope is in the air.
It's time for a change... Yes we can!
