Hope is restored around the world. America is the place so many people look to as a symbol of freedom, and prosperity. Sometimes they love us, and sometimes they hate us. However, so many people want to come to the U.S., and so many like the trends and style of the American people. The last eight years tarnished us so very badly (and for good reason---Bush/Cheney was a disaster), but clearly the rest of the world is excited for us to usher in a change and renew our place as a strong leader with goodwill toward other nations.

And now maybe with Obama at the helm, The United States of America will finally bring peace around the globe. The world is waiting, we need peace desperately, instead of the "Hatred warmongering from a "Greedy, self centered republican party.
