Obama

As one of my daughter's watched some of "Celebrity Big Brother" last night, there was a scene of 3 of the American contestants shedding a tear over the scenes of the inauguration they had been allowed to view. There was a sense of awe, of hope and for those in America's minorities, a feeling of being a full member of that society now.
I'm still in shock that it was through this programme (one I can't stand!) that the insight of what this new President means to many Americans could be revealed. My hope is that the burden of expectation does not become too much and that solving the Israel/Palestine question will finally find a just solution.
