This is definitely a once in a lifetime event as the NY Times notes in its headline.
Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America. For a man who 4 years ago was unknown, but to a few people in the city of Chicago, this has been a extraordinary rise and an ultimate coronation.
This at a time when there are a lot of uncertainties and challenges facing the new president. Just to name a few, the US and the world economy is in tatters, global warming is a concern, and two wars, one of which was a war of choice, have diminished the United States standing in the world.
Atlast, the American electorate has made the right choice. The last eight years have been terrible for the United States, but the next four years offer a lot of hope. Lets hope that Barack Obama will use this mandate of the people to correct the wrongs of the last eight years.
