I am not an American. I only watch from the sidelines. But nothing - at least in the first 30odd years of my life - compares to the story of Barack Obama's election to the Presidency of the US. In these days of seeming hopelessness, there could be a beacon of potential, a beacon of what could be, a beacon of the possibilities that lie ahead. Amidst the challenges. Amidst the difficulties. Amidst the uncertainties.
Will he deliver?
Nobody knows.
We can only - for now - believe.
And yes, hope.
