Historic is an overused word but surely the 4th November 2008 will go down in history.
America has not only redeemed itself for the last eight years but it has finally ended the schizophrenia that has haunted it since independence: calling itself the land of liberty and yet enslaving / discriminating against one section of its population simply because of the colour of their skin.
The world's reaction to Obama's success shows just how much respect America lost in the past eight years.
This is not the end. That hard work is just beginning: recession, two wars and climate change. Obama will make mistakes. And he won't achieve all that he promised. No politician does. But he can't be worse than his predecessor.
