American BS

I am not American, yet I enjoyed one very historic moment for this country -

Inauguration of the 44th President of United States - Barack Obama

congrats to him.

I enjoyed because you me and all of us are part of this history - where technology has made such a big difference.

For the past year I have been following his race and humble approach to include everyone to make a change for the better. He is very good orator and stupefies the audience everytime he gives a speech.

Internet has changed our lives in so many ways and this election and his victory was a testament to the most positive use of it thus far. He used technology to the fullest and got so many people - many young ones who avoided elections all together - to participate in the common goal. There was million plus crowd at the Washington DC mall - the largest crowd for a political gathering the city has ever seen.

Youtube was used to let the "common man" ask questions directly to the candidates during the primaries and today Facebook a social online network was used by CNN for live interaction when they showed the event live online. Also there must be innumerable blogs speaking for or against.

This empowerment of the common man hopefully spreads through to all the faculties of our human life - where one can avail of the best possible help from around the world - and is locally accepted means.

Time will be a witness to where all this leads to and what happens with this country.

It took eight years for Americans to get their BS straight.

Ironic isn't it - shift of focus is from oSama to oBama now.
