There are not that many people who are born with charisma, the power over people when one person talks or the way he/she carries himself. When I first saw Obama speak, I was very impressed by the fact that he did have that charisma. This is a defining part of world history, a change for the world from the minds that want to wage wars and where human lives are sold on flee markets in the streets of Baghdad, Afghanistan and entire Middle East. The world we are living is one world each other’s actions affect each other, political, economical or social. United States of America is in the center of everything due the biggest economy in the world and America could change the world and I think this man of Afro Kansan heritage who went to a Muslim school Indonesia has seen the world and knows that this world is made up multiple colors. I have never seen anybody who has impressed me this much in the recent years in the midst of death, destruction, chaos, filth, and greed. The world is not a very peaceful place anymore, its chaos everywhere. I think America could bring that peace into the world, but not by force, by education and tolerance. It is time for America loose their cold war chauvinistic chest beating attitude and rhetoric of being the center of the world, instead of being one puzzle of the big picture, you could just lead by example and good deeds; you do not have lead by flexing your muscles. I am a strong believer that Mr. Obama could bring peace into the world by leading by example and tolerance. It is evident by him reaffirming JFK’s quote of “we should not negotiate out of fear but we should not fearful to negotiate. Bring everybody on to the table and ask them to get along, the best we could ask from the people who are killing innocents is to try to get along. The hypocrisy of America does not help the tension in the world where America is the cause of the deaths of over half a million in Iraq. Like Gandhi said, “an eye for an eye keeps the whole world blind”. This man seems like he wants to end all that, so I am going to conclude this by a line from the movie Thirteen days, when you want to do something right, the good people got to come and ruin it. So Bill and Hillary make a pathway for good of the world and so Mr. Nader please do not get another Bush into the white house.
