The White House built by black slaves in 1800 is going to
become a Black’s House.
"There is a woman behind every man's success". Mum-in-Chief
to First–lady of the oldest democracy, Michelle Robinson Obama,; the
elegant, smiling, passionate young lady who always moves with Barack Obama
is that woman.
She will remain an important pillar for Obama in his
administration in the coming days. A lawyer herself, she completed her
education in Princeton University and Harvard Law School. The speeches she
made during the rough and tumble campaign struggle were really her own life
experience. Once she said to Obama in her public speech, “if you know the
people or not, if there is agreement or disagreement, treat the people with
utmost dignity and respect”, and it shows her total commitment to the
country and the people.
We could read from her speeches the unstinting effort, the
quest for doing the best for a better America. She will be the remembered as
an ambassador for change in the USA. I strongly believe Obama has the same
view point as Michelle, but yet how far both can do wonders in this present
juncture, is yet to be seen.
The transformation was not easy as we did watch the
presidential campaign struggle in between Hilary and Obama. I felt that it
was a great challenge to Obama though the campaigning was in favour of Obama.
To most Americans, black is still black and the racial aversion is still
very much present. What inspired the Americans especially the awakened
young generation to elect Barack Obama, an African American, to highest
office is the charismatic leadership he had displayed. Also the people of
the United States desperately needed a drastic change. A change in all
spheres not just to overcome the economic crisis but also to correct the
failed foreign policy. The historic win on November 4, 2008 paved the way
for an African American to the White House at last and the dream of Martin
Luther King has been fulfilled. The day is to be remembered for ever.
The tough times for Obama is ahead. The discussion of power
transfer is on and the 44th President of United States of America
will be sworn in by January 2008. The world is looking for the change in USA
and the radical changes affect the whole economy and it may probably the
beginning of a change the world over. Let the world listen and wait!!!
