To worldwide acclaim Obama was sworn in as president. On the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, Obama has chosen him as his role model. Like Lincoln Obama is a lawyer and a very good speaker. He is also a very good organiser as his successful campaign and phenomenal fundraising show. As he starts his period in the Oval office he should remember one fact and that is that Lincoln is great only because he won the civil war. Had he lost the war America would have been divided. The North would be a small industrial state and the South would still be practising slavery. Germany would probably have won the war and Martin Luther King would not have been allowed to have any dreams. By winning the war and uniting the country Lincoln laid the foundations of the modern US, the richest and the most powerful country in the world. Obama has no civil war to fight. However he has a very deep recession on his hands and Al Qaeda still flourishing and threatening the world. It remains to be seen if he is able to tell the truth about terrorism and that is that Pakistan is the centre of all terrorists in the world and has to be effectively eliminated or will he continue the same old and tired line of cooperation with the ISI. The Inca callender predicts 21st December 2012 as the day the world ends which will be at the end of the present term. We wish him well and hope that he is successful in his endeavours as president. Otherwise the Inca prediction might well come true.
