At 11 pm ET, US, 4th November, 2008, Barak Hussein Obama was declared the 44th President elect of the United States. Most of us would have never thought we would witness this moment in our lifetime. Though rooting for this man since the first time I heard him back in October last year, the closer it got to the election day the more weary I became. It just seemed a bit too early for a black man to take the highest office in the United States. And with Obama’s win, the glass ceiling has been shattered. The barrier is no more. The dream has come true. Today, Dr King’s words resonated in so many ears. Today, America has shown to the world its ability to present opportunities to people regardless of the color of their skin. Today, American has true displayed that she is the leader of the democratic world.
