Obama is the choice of the world

I’m not in DC so I just watched the whole inaugural ceremonies on CNN at home and waited for Obama’s inaugural speech with much anticipation.

I was not disapppointed.

Despite daunting challenges the President describes as “they are serious and they are many”, he continues to convey a message of  hope with a caveat of great and heavy reponsibility lying ahead.  It was full of promise.  Big promises that are equally big to keep.

Millions in America along with billions around the world watched President Obama sworn into the most powerful office in the most powerful country in the world.  He’s not only an icon of hope in this country he leads.  He’s become an icon of hope in the countries this country touches.

Thousands upon thousands are blogged about this man who is a phenomenon in America’s history.  But here’s an article about a self-published book about him that really caught my attention.

Philip Ephraim published Barack Obama, The Audacity of Being A Global President.   The book author highlights the President not only as the choice of America, but of the world.

I checked the book and I’m so glad to know that it is available online at Xlibris.  And it’s print on demand.  That means it never runs out of copies.

I looked at the pile of unread books on my bedroom floor.  They will have to remain unread for a few days.  And boy, I haven’t even opened the last one I bought!

There’s a new published book I  urgently need to read.

The success of the Obama’s administration doesn’t lie on the bigness of his inauguration or on his usual eloquence.  Everything depends on how he delivers his promises.

The whole world is watching and waiting.
