My view is that Obama is president of the USA. The fact is that the Bush admin did more for Africa than previous regimes. Obama will be a more acceptable face of a superpower, but a superpower all the same.

I’m an American living in South Africa and when I talk to the rural black women I hear nothing but excitement for Obama. It means something very real to them that a black man might become the president of the United States. Regina, the chairperson of the weaving cooperative where I work, when she heard about Obama said simply, “God the Almighty is truly with us.”
