Welcome to “Mr. President, please…”
This initiative was inspired by “On day One“, an Internet based initiative to collect and collate suggestions from the people of the USA to be handed to the new President of the USA on the day when he takes up office.
So far, he is the century’s symbol of inspiration. The US president Barack Obama speaks and the world, or at least his intended audience, moves. His latest major audience of a specific target was the African continent. Speaking in Accra two days ago, Obama shared with the world what the policy of his administration in Washington is going to be for Africa. It was clear that democratic accountability and human rights are some of the issues that are going to be supreme. Yet if inspiration was anything to go by in his speech, then it came out clearly that the first African-American US president spoke to the young of what is arguably the poorest continent – Africa.
