Today Barack Obama was sworn in as our 44th president and I hope everyone was able to listen. I found myself listening attentively to his words and could not help feeling the surge of hope that has begun to grow in every heart around the world. Although he stumbled a bit on a couple of words he was to recite, it showed me that he is indeed human and suddenly he became more accessible, more "real" so to speak. I look foward to the coming months of his presidency and the progress that he has promised.
