Yes We Can: Obama

"We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers." - US president Barack Hussein Obama.

Well, more interesting is his victory speech, where he says...
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes we can!

Maybe he can bring the change this way... but when would we?

On a lighter note Melvin seems to have stumbled upon the diary of Barack Obama's desi roommate. I couldn't stop myself LoL, you try yourself:
Nov. 13, 1981: Barack is a little too square. I’m trying to get him to be more stylish, more cool. Yesterday, I took him to see Sholay at a friend’s house, hoping that Amitabh Bachchan’s style would rub off on him. And today, Barack is walking around wearing a wide-collared shirt and saying, “Tera naam kya hai, Basanti?”

This is just one of those hilarious ones from the Diary of Barack Obama's desi roommate.
