Happy New Year. I am back, after a long winter holiday and I plan to resume blogging in the frequency and quality as I have been doing before. The overarching theme early this year is of course the presidential race in the US. Over here in Europe, more and more people bet on Obama because they believe that time for change in America is overdue. There is too much unfinished business in the US that Clinton - as a part of the establishment - cannot tackle (Iraq, environment, health and tax reforms, economy). Whether you are conservative or liberal, it looks like Barak stands for fundamental change and it seems from outside that the American nation is getting ready for that idea - reminds me of Ronald Reagan's first campaign. So, from a perspective of a Change Management practitioner, Obama seems to be the right person: leadership, a strong message, inclusiveness. Or is it just pure populism? Can Obama deliver on what his personality promises? Can I have some motion from my readers please?

THE US voters rose above racial prejudice and voted to the White House as their 44th President a black man and thus made history. A country where slavery was once institutionalised and legalized, where even as late as in the 1960s blacks were still fighting for their civil and human rights, has now changed forever. Martin Luther King's dream that there will be a day when people will be judged not by the colour of their skins but by the content of their character is now a reality. The people of the United States deserve to be congratulated for ending their long winter of discontent suffered under a White House in the hands of the neo-cons and letting sunshine back in by their historic effort to elect Senator Barak Obama as their President. Let President-elect Obama give a part of that sunshine to the rest of the world to enjoy for US' long winter of discontent has also been theirs.
