A Letter to President Obama... From Cati, Shivani and Emily

A Brit’s point of view:
By Emily
I am from the UK, but I think Obama will change the world anyways. From my point of view, Obama will change America and point of view of America and unite other countries. I hope he stops the pointless war in Iraq and he’ll think of the troops, who were lost at battle. I also hope he helps the bond between Britain and the USA and even the EU. Hopefully Obama will improve war situations and the country itself. Also in these few months, I similarly hope he will improve himself because I’ve seen on the news that he’s made a few mistakes, and I want him to go on so I hope he learns from those mistakes. I also think its great that a Black American is a President and I am happy that I am happy to see Obama take control of the country. He also had a great win, and he had a great campaign. He also was kind of seen to win, as everyone thought he was going to win anyways, because people saw McCain bring in Sarah Palin and that seemed to change peoples' views which I didn’t know much about, but caught onto. I am also happy to see changes in our world, I think he’ll do great!

Americans in Shanghai, following the Presidency:
By Cati and Shivani
We think it is great that an African American man is now the President of the USA. American needs change and Obama seems to be a chance. He has good ideas that are innovative and new, things that will help our country in the future. We are expecting a lot, as he was very convincing in the campaign and promised a lot of things. He promised change like end to the war in Iraq, which would be good because the war is virtually about nothing, and too many soldiers and Iraqi citizens are being hurt for no reason. He also promised more jobs, which is good during this economic crisis which is hard for many people. He also promised to try and get America back on the right track for the economy, and he also said that he’d try to make America equal and happy. He seems to be just a normal person who wants to help America and its people. We think Barack Obama should be given a chance to prove himself and he will be a great President in the next few years.
