BARACK OBAMA said “I AM ASKING YOU TO BELIEVE Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington…I am asking you to believe in yours.”
Barack Obama took power as the first black U.S. president on Tuesday and quickly turned the page on the Bush years, urging Americans to rally to end the worst economic crisis in generations and repair the U.S. image abroad.
"Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America," Obama said, addressing an exuberant sea of people in an inaugural speech that was optimistic but realistic about the challenges ahead.
He pledged bold and swift action to bring new life to the U.S. economy and declared to millions watching abroad: "We are ready to lead once more.

"I congratulate Mr. Obama for bringing much needed hope to the world, I think no other president in US history has faced the challenges he faces today; But to me his biggest challenge will be to live up to all those faces around the world that will be smiling on January 20th when he becomes president of the United States of America. No other US president has been greeted like this by the world; no other time in history the victory of a USA president has been perceived as a personal triumph for so many people around the world. I hope these general attitudes will help him make more and better allies, to build more and better bridges among nations, so we can have peace."
