Congratulations Barack Obama

In a historic victory, the Illinois senator becomes the first African-American to win the presidency.

We put our hope into him to reach out to his opponents and together pull this economy out of the worst performance since the great depression.

We also hope in a change of the arrogance that occurred under President Bush towards other countries. All nations have to stand together to get the world economy out of this turmoil. Obama, the US and the whole world will face a lot of challenges in the months and probably years to come.
