I just wanted to say how pleased I am that America elected Barack Obama. I was very worried that the Americans weren't ready to put a black man in the white house, but I am quite happy that I was wrong.
It's too early to say whether or not he will be a good president, but he can't possibly be any worse than his predecessor! Finally, I won't have to be ashamed for being an American anymore - maybe America will regain a little popularity again the world.

Herzlichen Glückwünsch, Herr President!
