Oh, the Places He's Been

This is a highly gifted President. All one can say is that we are lucky to have Mr. Obama in the White House at a time when the world is undergoing an enormous change and we, the people, find ourselves under severe economic stress.

Mr. Obama is a great ambassador of the United States of America - one who is loved by the entire world. He's admired for his leadership skills and the fact that he was awarded the Nobel Prize recently is a clear and ultimate indication and recognition of his abilities and his solid grasp of international relations.

With Mr. Obama at the helm of affairs we can all hope for the best as he embarks upon the journey to make our world a better place to live.
