On Barack Obama winning the 2008 US Presidential elections
I have little interest in politics, but Senator Barack Obama’s win in the 2008 United States Presidential elections is worth noting.
When he takes his oath and officially assumes office in January 2009, Obama will not only be the president of the USA, but he effectively becomes the most influential leader of the free democratic world. His decisions and policies, particularly with regards to business and warfare, will affect every country in the world who deals with America in whatever capacity.
As an environmentalist, I’m particularly interested in Obama’s campaign on energy independence. If more leaders like Obama show a serious effort for improving the state of the world’s climate, then perhaps the generations after us will inherit a planet they can actually live comfortably in.
I’m hopeful and optimistic for the change that Obama intends to bring. Winning the election was the easy part, but the real hard work is just about to begin.
