The World is Happy About an Obama Win

Just as I suspected the world is applauding Obama and it is even changing their view about Americans.

People across Africa stayed up all night or woke before dawn to watch U.S. history being made, while the president of Kenya — where Obama's father was born — declared a public holiday.

This actually opens a very real opportunity for the US to start to take a stronger hand in the affairs of Africa. The Chinese have been slowing moving into Africa and there seems to be genocide going on every decade or so. With their love for Obama maybe the US will be able to help people in Darfur and maybe start to strengthen countries like Kenya. Africa could be the next Emerging Market in an Obama presidency.
