CHOOSE HOPE OVER FEARS?
- Barack Hussein Obama
44th US President
January 20, 2009 Inaugural Speech

These are difficult times, indeed. However, just like the positive impact of the election of Barack Obama as the first US black president amid grave economic crisis and high expectations, we still have reasons to be hopeful and remain positive in spite of the slump in the world economy.
