Obama: King of the universe (an editorial by Israeli Sever Plocker)
The wave of excitement that swept through the streets of the world in the wake of Obama’s victory reflects deep desire by current-day humanity for a social leader that would not only lead the world’s greatest power, but rather, the entire world. The stock markets may have not been waiting for Obama, but the world has certainly been waiting. The unity of the human race is greater today than ever before. Democracy, in all its various and imperfect forms, is more prevalent today than ever before. At a time when people define their problems in terms of dreams, rather than wars, Barack Obama is perceived as the right person at the right place. He cuts across boundaries, religions, and races.
