USA's new president

I think the US were wise in their selection of a new president. After two periods with George W. Bush in the presidential seat, a newcomer is welcomed. Bush is not particularly popular among Americans today, and one of the most important abilities a president can have, is the ability to gain trust among the people. Barack Obama has showed us that he has this ability. Among many others. Through the entire campaign he has showed us that he is an excellent rhetorician, where he gives speeches like no one else can. He has the ability to make people listen, to really hear what he says, and remember.

Also he is much more liberal than earlier presidents. He will govern the US in a new way, and still not abandon the old, American traditions completely. Another point worth mentioning, is the matter of fact that he is black. That is not a big deal in the first place, but when it comes to presidency it is a milestone. He is the first black president, and I think that will help eliminate the racial issues still existing in the US today. Also I hope that Obama will stop leading this aggressive foreign policies as Bush has done, and also make USA participate in saving the environment.
