While my American friends, family and acquaintances seem split here on whether they voted for Obama (yea) or McCain....the response from the Ugandan people is unrestrained joy. The Kenyans were so excited they declared it a national holiday.
One local paper here had over 1/4 of the total pages with information about, or references to Obama. There is a popular song out, in the local language, that extols his praises and offers him congratulations.
For the first time since JFK I have a picture of a US president hanging on my wall. Go figure. Let's keep him and all the elected officials, at all levels of government in prayer, as the road ahead is difficult indeed.
