One week of President Obama

One week ago, all the world had its eyes turned towards America as history was made with the inauguration of the first African-American President. But the world did not turn away after the inauguration ceremony. World leaders and citizens of nations far and wide continued to watch the actions and plans of this President. So much is expected of him: peace among warring nations, fixing the economy, solving the climate change problems and keeping Americans happy.

One week ago, all the world had its eyes turned towards America as history was made with the inauguration of the first African-American President. But the world did not turn away after the inauguration ceremony. World leaders and citizens of nations far and wide continued to watch the actions and plans of this President. So much is expected of him: peace among warring nations, fixing the economy, solving the climate change problems and keeping Americans happy.
All during the campaign, President Obama stressed the chant, "Yes we can." This means that from last week all of us are called to join him in making America a better place. All of us are summoned to assist him in the task of bringing peace to the world, mending the economy and doing out little bit to keep the world greener. Have you done your part this week?
