Africa Is Feeling So Much Joy From The Obama Victory! They Feel He Will Help!

America isn't the only place that is feeling the ecstasy of now having the first black president of the United States. Africa is feeling joy amidst the pain & suffering that is going on all over the land. Barack Obama is someone of Kenyan ancestry. He may take interest in actually helping the Africa because part of his roots are there. This is a president who has a connection to this very troubled land. And a lot of Africans anticipate a change for them as well. According to CNN:

"Yvonne Okwara, from Kenya, wrote: "Obama's win is so personal to so many of us, it continues to amaze me. One thing America has taught us today is that true democracy never dies."

Basimane Bogopa, from Botswana, added: "Americans have shown once again, why they are world leaders. Obama's victory has shown me that the American dream is real, you just have to dream. My heart is filled with joy."

Many Africans believe an Obama presidency will help the impoverished continent. His victory is likely to seal America's reputation in the minds of many Africans as a land of opportunity. (END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:
