Believing

I must confess I've been an Obama's fan ever since I've watched one of his speaches on TV, at Heatrow airoport back in 2007.
I think what made him different at the time was that I've trusted his words.
I have not changed my opinion since then. I still strikes me as a reliable leader,
I am aware I might be wrong since I am watching it from a distance, I hope not.
I am sure some amaricans will not agree with me, especially if their life has not changed or has changed for the worst during Obama's administration, but seen from here he gives me hope of finding someone as trustworthy to rule my country. Is this honest quality in him that makes me still have faith in democracy.
I was very glad to hear he is atempting to change US gun control laws. I hope he succeeds.
As an outsider is terrible to watch TV reports about kids killing their school colleagues.
Don't be mistaken, dispite having more restritive laws on this subject, we still have people killing family members or neighbours on a fit of rage, because hunting is one of men's favourite sports in my country which puts rifles in a lot of portuguese houses...
I believe reason will provail.
People think americans are too full of themselves to change, I am not amongst those people.
People can change, they just need to believe in that change.
