from a few journals around LJ

And though I can't see them out my window but I have been assured by text that many of my friends are currently dancing in the streets - at 6am in the middle of winter in Scotland. I shan't be surprised if they end up with the flu, but right now it seems like a perfect expression of how I'm feeling.

WE WILL Teach - not just the US but the world. Obama in Berlin adressed a speech to "The People of the World."

The World was listening - Lead and we shall Follow.

I think I've just found the perfect quote to explain how I'm feeling. From Ahmed Benchemsi, who edits both of Morocco's leading newsweeklies:

"The American president always claims to be the 'leader of the world,' and we always hate that arrogance. Obama can say that, and we have no problem with it."
