The Man of the Moment...


He is the Man of the Moment. Good or bad, right or wrong, black or white...doesnt matter.

What really matters is the change...a change that a world needs...and there is no world without America and there is no America without a face...and this face is the phase...

I think there's an America in everyone's heart...and there's one in mine too...since childhood.
Agree or Disagree...this is not about a nation but an amalgam of thoughts...because whatever you might believe or disbelieve...you can hate it...you can love it...but you just cant ignore it.
There is a thought which says "everything is possible"...and that land has lived closest to this thought.


"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer," Obama told more than 240,000 celebrants gathered along Chicago's waterfront. Many had tears streaking their faces.

And he continued...

"It's the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day."



"...And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world--our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared..."

"...It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day,at this defining moment, change has come to America..."

At This moment, one song that resonates and wanders across my mind is U2's 'The Hands That Built America '

and it apltly goes like this :

Oh my love, it's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills to the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields, to hanging steel from the sky
From digging in our pockets for a reason not to say goodbye

These are the hands that built America
(Russian, Sioux, Dutch, Hindu)
Oh, oh oh, America
(Polish, Irish, German, Italian)

Last saw your face in a watercolour sky
As sea birds argue, a long goodbye
I took your kiss, on the spray of Endless stars
You gotta live with your dreams, don't make them so hard

And these are the hands, that built America
(The Irish, the Blacks, the Chinese, the Jews)
Ah, ah ah, America / Hand
(Korean, Hispanic, Muslim, Indian)

Of all of the promises, is this one we could keep
Of all of the dreams, is this one still out of reach

Out ta outa reeeach
(Dream-oh-yeah)
(Oh oh-dream, oh love)

It's early fall, there's a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence, dragged across a yellow line

These are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built America
