When President Barak Obama was christened President-elect South African anti-apartheid revolutionist, Nelson Mandela fervidly wrote a letter laden with wishes to Obama. The drumbeats of US politics is hear again and the big question is "Should Americans vote the democrats again into power?" The answer isn't far-fetched. It will be unfair if Americans don't vote for continuity if the wishes of late Mandela were met by Obama. On the other it won't be seen as unfair if President Obama dashed the hopes of Mandela. All you need is to simply peruse the letter and be the judge.
Dear Senator Obama,
We join people in your country and around the world in congratulating you on becoming the President-Elect of the United States. Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to dream of wanting to change the world for a better place.
We note and applaud your commitment to supporting the cause of peace and security around the world. We trust that you will also make it the mission of your Presidency to combat the scourge of poverty and disease everywhere.
We wish you strength and fortitude in the challenging days and years that lie ahead. We are sure you will ultimately achieve your dream making the United States of America a full partner in a community of nations committed to peace and prosperity for all.
Sincerely,
N R Mandela
