Oh-balm-aah! worked magically to create history

On a Tuesday night when the world was eager to know the future of the American political scenario, walked the first African American president Barack Obama to deliver the historic victory speech. Yes the Americans who were feeling Oh! were relieved by the balm to make them feel Aah!. The new balm which relieved the pain of the majority of the American population is called Obama( Oh-balm-aah!).
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has created history by defeating his Republican rival John McCain to become the first Black President of the United States. The 47 year old democratic senator was successful in convincing the large crowds who wanted a change. The would be president celebrated his election victory at the Grant park in Chicago where close to a million people were present to witness the moment which transformed the political scene of the USA. While I was watching him speak, I felt that the magic of words is no less than the magic of a pain relieving balm when you are in extreme pain. I now understand the greatest strength that one could carry is to have the charm & magic of words which can influence & draw people towards you. He uses few realistic examples like a 106 years old woman casting her vote to make the crowd understand the way America has transformed over the years. Whatever we say, the magic has worked on the majority of the American population who now are happy to hear Obama speak.
He is a great admirer of Mahatma & draws huge inspiration from the works of Mahatma. He believes in the transformational change that can be brought in if all the ordinary people join together to do extraordinary things. That could be the reason he might have tried working extra ordinarily with other ordinary people. It was really good to see him making the optimum use of all the available resources, like all forms of media to raise contributions for campaigns to spreading the word over. I could notice the spark in his eyes while he was delivering the historic victory speech which tells us that hard work pays. Obama having an experience of just 3 years in the senate has really worked hard to achieve this. Finally the day has come where America proved that it is ready for the change. With the kind of commitment towards the betterment of the American society, Obama is sure to create a remarkable history. The struggle that he went through since his childhood before he arrived here is worth mentioning. Obama had a troubled adolescence in which he struggled with his biracial identity as he was born to a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas. Obama finally achieved some thing very big which makes the entire nation proud, especially the African American community. The African American community has reasons to celebrate & have found their pain reliever, Oh-balm-aah! the sigh of relief.
