Message from India:
Barack Obama, the man who had the audacity to hope, will take over the reins of the United States on January 20 in the midst of an economic crisis said to be the worst ever in a long long time.
Not only is Obama saddled with recession, but he also has to deal with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the threat of terrorism amid a historic transfer of power.
But in great crisis lies great opportunity. Former US president Bill Clinton was known to have complained that since he never faced a great crisis, he could never hope to be remembered as a great president. For all the difficulties he faces, Obama has a clearer shot at greatness than any of his recent predecessors.
Obama's win in the American elections was not another victory that comes every four years. It was the victory of the ordinary individual, who rose from a crowd of ordinary individuals to represent them. The victory of democracy, a world voice. In that world voice are many from far away India, voices that gave strength to Obama's campaign and win, regardless of the fact that they wouldn't be casting a vote in the American elections. Their clamour was for a world leader, for a human face as the most powerful man in the world.
As he enters office, write a message for Obama.
