An Irish village called Moneygall covered itself in red, white and blue bunting Tuesday in honor of Obama's ancestry, a great-great-great grandfather named Fulmouth Kearney who emigrated to the United States in 1850.
In Kenya, birthplace of Pres. Obama's father, feasts were prepared, beer with Obama's name on it brewed, and movie screens erected so neighbors could join together for the moment.
"Obama fever is all over the whole world, " said Cyndee Peters, an Afridan-American singer who grew up in North Carolina and New York, and now lives in Sweden. "I was congratulated by I don't know how many Swedes after the election. I think what he stands for needs to be celebrated. "No one is doing their favorite songs or greatest hits. We're doing songs about hope."
He has been praised for a trait unusual in politicians - an unwavering message: a heartfelt call to service, to help each other. He said today, "At this moment- a moment that will define a generation" it is precisely this spirit (of service) that must inhabit us all." So we wish him well, and hope the countries of the world will work together to realize his visions of honesty, tolerance, and the brotherhood of all peoples.
