''Grayer Obama takes the oath for second term"


I took this picture on the day President Barack Obama was inaugurated to his second term in office. The headline was what attracted me the most followed by the oath administered by Chief Justice John Robert of the US Supreme Court. There was a petition going on in town that there wouldn't let Mr. Robert administer oath to Mr. Obama for his second term. Of course that was a joke to say the least. Four years ago and today is indeed are the same and different and it is alright to see the president grayer than he was at the time of his first term in office. To be the CEO of an Empire like America is not a child play. I am not just a mere sympathizer of the president but I try to look at things from a very Socratic lens. He has what it takes and also knew what he was getting into.  Therefore, everybody across the globe and not just the American people wants to see him do the best he can to bring the current global issues (finance, global warming, diseases, wars etc), all under control. It is his last term and there is nothing like re-election. So he can choose to be dormant and lead behind but that would apparently damage his achievements and legacy. And maybe Michelle, his wife can always run for a political office as high as the presidency, though she doesn't somewhat like politics. But having been in the White House and center of global politics might have changed her opinions about politics. Regardless, it is also about time for America to have a woman president and that is not far from happening. After all, Harvard University, the oldest and most prestigious academic institution in America is now headed by a woman, thus Ms. Drew Gilpin Faust.
Anyway, I wish the president good luck just like I did to my own John President Mahama of Ghana. They got a lot to deal with. For Ghana, she must act to ensure that its economy takes a better shape for the good people of Ghana. It’s all possible if more planning and mismanagement is curbed. 
Have a wonderful weekend pals. Much love to you all and keep in touch.
