Obama Wins!

I stayed up as late as I could last Tuesday night to watch one of the most highly anticipated U.S. Presidential Election nights ever.

Barak Obama's victory was not just the making of American history, but the making of world history - becoming the first African-American to become President.

Barak's story is an inspiration to many. He grew up in an working class area with his single Mum. He was an everyday guy who was no more special than anyone else, but his dreams and determination to succeed has got him where he is.

The idea of the American Dream, where anyone can achieve the best in life is not something that can just happen in United States, but something that can happen anywhere - you just have to believe in it.

Barak's victory was certainly an inspiration to me. Perhaps a Lib Dem Prime Minister really is possible?
