The world rejoices ...

Stock markets rallied for the first time in months today. Not just Americans rejoiced at the prospect of positive change in America.

The world rejoices with her.

By virtue of Obama's lineage, he's gained the support of many nations, continents even, around the world - Kenya and I'm sure Africa too, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia even! Haha ...

Of course, China will welcome a friend rather than one who is suspicious of her growing clout in the world's economy. India, at first split between Obama and McCain and seemed somewhat wary of Obama's earlier protectionist promises which could be detrimental to India's massively US-dependent IT outsourcing economy, may not have too much to worry about in the end as Obama would probably not opt for measures that contradict American companies' bottomlines.

So the world may rejoice for now ... this young, energetic, normal person of a President may jolly well pull it off (^__^)
