America never ceases to amaze the world

Four years ago, the world looked at America in total shock and maybe with a little anger as Americans chose a leader that brought too much damage to both America and the world for a second term. The world was asking: America, what have you done?

Four years later, the world again is looking at America, this time with a sense of awe, and maybe a little jealousy, as America turns a new page in her history. The world is amazed: America, only in America!

America is still the beacon of hope. America is still the light in the darkness.

The world has regained faith in America and the American people.

The night on Nov 2nd, 2008, I could not help calling my old friends in the land where I came from. I said: look, I told you so.

America, I am so proud of you. American people, I am so proud of you. American people are fair, just, and full of grace and compassion. They are not afraid of admitting their own wrong, and they always look forward.

To be honest with you, there is also evil in America. In the last of eight years, you have seen it in full display. But America always overcomes. America always moves forward.

In two days, really two days, Barack Obama will be our President! Mr. President, please remember the people who have voted for you. Please do not break your promises. We want change! Yes, you may have to make some compromises, to win over your political opponents. But never make deal with the devil!

Mr. President, I pray that: may God give you wisdom, judgment, and courage to lead this great nation out of current darkness. Bring back the hope for the whole world.
