The business of politics is to create hope


I saw President Obama’s inauguration pictures and asked myself what did the world leaders think of the large crowd that attended the ceremony, close to a million people? For almost every leader in the planet such a show of spontaneous popular support and enthusiasm would be a dream that can never become true.

Obama might have many opponents in the US. But seen from this side of the world, he still manages to achieve a major feat: to be the symbol of hope for many! And that reminds us that politics is about generating hope!
