Strange things do happen in the US as Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, on November 17th, 2003 was appointed 'The Governor' of California, not forgetting the unformidable figure of Ronald Wilson Reagan the first movie star to reach the Whitehouse. Although Arnie the 'Govenator' is married to Maria Owings Shriver a member of the Kennedy family this does not give Austrian born Arnie the right to become President as I'm sure he would have been an ideal candidate.
With the announcement of Barack Obama winning the Presidential campaign, not just the US rejoiced in this monumental achievement, but so did the rest of the world. Having an Afro-American at the helm of the Whitehouse will hopefully be as rewarding as seeing Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela as the first black President of South Africa after 27 years incarceration for his political views.
We still have to wait for the official Inauguration Day before Barack Obama relieves President George Walker Bush of his duties, although a day the world is waiting for with intrepid optimism for the many problems Obama will have to sort out in his 4 year term.
