Obama and the world
Mr Obama has been elected (or selected by Pentagon, FBI, Republican -- Democrat highest ups, limited topmost people in the USA) as the 44th president of the USA. It is definitely creditable, especially for a Black to be elected as President of the USA. In fact, it is much more creditable if he has been selected by the tops of the USA as selection is totally on complex hard calculation, and no emotion at all.
We, the third world people, are feeling a bit sentimentally comfortable; but life in this world is not so simple, especially in cases where the only superpower is involved, things are much more difficult and complicated. Mr Obama has been elected? Selected as the USA President only to serve the USA and the USA alone to maintain its leadership in the world. The US interest is the only consideration, nothing else. We have nothing to rejoice and everything to be concerned about and should be cautious.
The USA must have a difficult target. They need some front to do this nasty, harsh job -- Obama is the Front. It is difficult to predict what are the targets, but it can be said easily that things will not be pleasant for most of the countries, most of the people in this world.
We are so helpless, probably the whole world is helpless before the only mighty superpower -- the USA.
