It was a great surprise that Americans could overcome skin colour and religious differences to vote for a really good person. Now that the world's greatest nation has made a wise choice, it seems that the person that they have chosen would still take a long time to take the real power(we got to wait till 24 january 09) which is a long time given wars and economic conditions.

The wait might still be worth it , given that at last a good change has a chance of making it. The kind of people that Obama talks to include Warren Buffett. The main plus point of Buffett is that he predicted sub-prime crisis and evils of short selling. Therefore Warren Buffett has real understanding of wrongs of present system and may be the inside man who can help heal the system. His knowledge and advice would come in handy to Obama to move fast to address economic issues in optimal fashion.

I hope that Obama has some honest, good military advisors that can show him real picture of Bush war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and he has the courage to hold those responsible for all the bloodshed and make world a better place.

Good luck to Obama, Americans and poor nations like Pakistan.
