Haruna,
   
  Your citation of what Barack now means to you is very inspiring and encouraging. We hope and pray that the U.S of A is on the verge of another great revolution that will confirm to humankind that with hope, self-belief, hardwork and dedication; the human potential can reach destinies hitherto unthinkable in the past. YES WE CAN!
   
  I have not forgotten the photo you promised me. I want it for my photo gallery.
   
  Welcome aboard!

  When I see and hear Barack, I see me, my brothers from Latin America, Asia, 
Arabia, and the Pacific Isles. Possibilities that can accrue from good 
education, discipline, industry, and due-diligent consideration. Possibilities 
accelerated by the benign ambiances of the greatest nation on earth at present, 
America. Barack is the guiding light and spirit of the newer American 
immigrants defying hitherto awesome odds.

Barack reminds me that we are indeed the change we yearned (Ghandhi - Be the 
change you seek),
that we are indeed the ones we've been waiting for. These two statements and 
Barack's life examples reaffirm to me that we are our own prophets, 
consecrated from birth with the building blocks of our lives from creation. That when 
we look for prophets and savior in other, we engage in foolhardy and 
tomfoolery.

Barack reminds me that like whites, hispanics, asians, and arabs, blacks 
also desire favourable ambiance for the comforts of life on earth and spiritual 
conditioning for life in the heavens. That instead of wallow in despondency, 
hopelessness, and listlessness, we must be inspired by example of our own 
kind. That that is the movement of YES WE CAN. The growing awareness that no one 
can free us but ourselves when we so desire. I thank Barack for the 
inspiration. I will benefit greatly from my witness of him. That in all our endeavors 
and dreaming, we must tether unbridled hope to firmer moorings of the 
realities of democratic life. Democracy is maximally appreciated when citizens 
recognize their self worth and potential value.

I will take Barack's message and synthesize it for my life. I will share it 
with my family, friends, and fellow citizens. That will be the climactic 
movement for real change we can believe in.
