It's amazing to see that Obama has positively begun to unite not only America, but Africa as well. His message for change has got Africans uplifted, and excited at the fact that there may finally be an African American President. ObamaMania lives in Africa:"The possibility that Senator Barack Obama, the son of an African from Kenya, could become the first black president of the United States has got Africans jubilating across the continent. While many are reserving their biggest celebration for after the November U.S. election, for now Africans across the continent are excited with hope of a brighter future for the continent with an Obama presidency.
“About 60 percent of Cameroonians I spoke to is in favor of having Barack Obama, an African American, to become the first black president. They hope that if he becomes the first black president of the world’s most powerful nation, the blacks would be proud of their color. The other 40 percent that I talked to they think that it is a Republican (party) ploy to get Hillary (Clinton) out of the way because Hillary could have been a tough competitor to (Senator) McCain because they say the Americans have what they call the redneck. They don’t think that the rednecks would want to vote a black man come November,” said Nkemayang Paul Foanyi, a newspaper publisher in Limbe, Cameroon."
