Barack Obama: Elected in the midst of war

The 44th america president: Barack Obama is finally elected together with the vice president Joe Biden. They took their vow (Barack Obama nervous.red) to running the official mandate for the nation. I guess its the warmest winter in Washington D.C since history has been made today. Well, how could it not? Barack Obama is the first black American president that attack the quote in America long time ago: If you;re black, you stay back; If you're brown, you stay around; If you're white, you just alrite. He also the first president that got 11 standing ovation not just the other former which is higlights his profile even more. Plus, he is elected in the midst of war. For me, this is outrageous! Born in the midst of war is something, but elected in the midst of war is everything. Plus, he also elected in the midst of crisis. Only the right person in the right time and in the right place could live such a role like that. 

Rick Warren was there, Aretha Franklin was there, George Bush of course was there too (still with a very tight guardian around him), and im sure everybody watched the election today. All tv station suddenly become very busy, and the comentator are so ready to say lots of thing. Hmm... In the midst of world wide crisis nowadays; specially the war between Israel and Palestina today, i believe everybody are waiting to hear his speech. 

(Suddenly there is a thriller of hollywood movie: Vantage Point. If you dont know about the movie, for god sake gain some knowledge. Its a good movie though.)

Mr. President stand and do his first speech; he speech humbly and grateful yet strong and confidence. 
This are some of my highlights on Mr.President speech today:
"the time has come..."
"Greatness is never gift, it must be earned" 
"People will judge you of what you can build not you can destroy"
"Our spirit is stronger and not be broken, and we will defeat you" 
"Its not a new job, Its about putting the foundation for our nation growth"
"All this we can do, All this we will do" 

Of course around the world has different comment about those speech, like always .. 
And as usual, the comentator will suddenly gain money from this election whether they support the president or not. As long as they have the topic, they will talk and talk. Of course lots of people are willingly to took this position as 'a comentator' not as 'a president'. But i would like to say "Bravo Mr President!! Standing ovation again for you." The White house are so alive today, well i guess Marthin Luther King also rise from the death to watched the election.

a good fragment from his speech, which is "there has never been anything false about HOPE"

at least i could put a hope in the leadership of Obama, even he didn't promise anything about a peace in middle east
