A new president

Forty eight years ago (and yes, I can remember that far back; it's only where I put my keys or glasses or spanner, 2 minutes ago that I forget) John F Kennedy was elected president of the USA. All the hopes and dreams of the world centred on this young charismatic man. It is the same feeling of euphoria now, that the rest of the world, who had hoped and prayed that the American people would get it right this time, (after all they elected George Bush twice), experiences.
History unfortunately has a habit of repeating itself. I can only hope that people have learned from the past and President-elect Obama will be able to fulfil his promise. Things don't look promising. Lewis Hamilton is the youngest person to win the Formula 1 world championship. He also has been subject to racist taunts and abuse because of the colour of his skin. Until we can all accept difference and embrace it, I fear that once again, we are heading for another tragedy.
