Thats actually something I have thought for a while. If he wins, the world view of the US will instantly change. Not to say that things will instantly be all good, but they will look at it as a new chance to renew and repair relationships. If obama performs as he promised and as he should the results will benefit the world community greatly.

I think Obama will make a great President for many reasons...

- he came from humble background and would know what it means to work hard for your money
- he has a mixed ancestry, so that gives a unique perspective on racial and minority matters
- he has lived in a muslim country, and may have a better appreciation of that religion and culture
- he knows how Washington DC works from the inside, despite his few years there
- he commands R-E-S-P-E-C-T
- he is a team player and a leader
- now he has to form his team to make change happen

The next few months will be very interesting to watch...

Germany wishes him the best. We put great hope in him to repair the very strained relations the Bush administration has left with our country.
