President Obama will NOT be able to do it by himself! But hopefully, his leadership and vision of what America is and can be will rally enough U.S citizens, and others from all around the globe, to forge a better world for all. In our country, as in America, if not more, the challenge is to get enough people to attain a decent level of understanding and information to work together towards building this future we all desire so much. Our biggest challenge is poverty and all it's little friends... In short: "Ask not what Obama can do for you..." By the way, much to my neighbors dismay, and funny enough, fear... I fly my Red, White, and Green flag every single day of the year!

It's the first time I've seen this much excitement over an election. It's the first time I have voted as a new US citizen. And of course, I voted Obama. I got turned off by all the negativity and puerile claims from the republicans. Correction to the poster's translation: "They will hurt the environment and protect their interest but how about your own interest ?" "Manandratra ny kolontsainy izy" translates to "they promote their culture" not "they will hurt the environment". I’ve been in NY for 10 years.
