Inauguration day in the US will be unlike any other Barack Obama's qualifications to become the 44th president of the US are stellar. Yet it is the fact that a black man will ascend the most powerful office in the world that will make today's events such compelling viewing. There are many problems with the US and its role in the world but the election of Obama is proof that democratic feeds on the promise of a better tomorrow.
Together with the rest of the world we hope President Obama will be able to deliver on that promise. Redeliver orienting a global power one fighting two wars facing the threat of the worst recession since the great depression and clinging to the last vestiges of international goodwill is an immense task that will almost certainly take more than four years.
