hi Neha
Obama motivated and engaged young people from all walks and the middle-class of the United States, successfully mobilized them and created such an inspirational upsurge of youth takeover worldwide that I believe that this effect will be strongly felt in the upcoming polls here in Bangladesh as well.
So, yes, today, as Barack Obama stands president elect of the United States of America, let us HOPE and sing in chorus, the eternal words left by the great John Lennon – All we are saying…is give peace a chance. Now we can proudly say that it’s not only ‘Obama for America’ but Obama for the World and let me be hopeful and emotional while saying ‘Obama for Bangladesh’ as well.
cheers and respect for u
