Welcome to Dafydd's Blog!

Some time ago, I have posted up a blog in where I called for a new Golden Age. A Golden Age which would only come about if Barack Obama would be voted into office. In fact I was very much convinced that he would be elected as next president of the United States - it was another premonition.

Today I could not be more overjoyed to hear that Obama has won the race. But this is only the beginning, the first step on a long, new road ahead of us all. It is the New Dawn.

The New Dawn of Obama is the promise of a new time of hope and prosperity. After eight years of tyrannic rule of president Bush, a man who wanted to be a dictator and ruled like a terrorist, the United States had fallen into dark times. If John McCain had been victorious in this election, the dark age would only have blackened further with the death of millions of Americans as result in what would likely have been a repeat of 9/11 as well as an increasingly war policy putting the United States at the brink of destruction.

Luckily, this doom has been averted for now, as we are about to head a different way. The hearts of the people are filled with hope on this day, and that is not without good cause. A black president is what the world needs today to lighten up the dark time - ironically.

What will happen exactly I cannot predict. I have already predicted that Obama would be elected, and that his presidency would begin a new Golden Age. I still stand by that wholeheartedly, but I must elaborate on what I mean with "Golden Age"

In every civilisation there are tales known of a Golden Age. This refers to a somewhat mythical time in where there was no war, no illness, and only prosperity. This is not the kind of Golden Age of which I speak here.

Yes, there is war. The war that the Republicans started unjustly, with in particular president Bush. This war cannot be ignored, not even by Obama. It will be his task to find a peaceful solution to wrap up the war in a smooth way, he can't just pull back all troops overnight.

Yes, there is the bad economy. Another result of the war and tyrannic policies of Bush, that only made himself richer and the general American citizen poorer. We can't expect that this global financial crisis will simply dissolve now that Obama is elected. In the next four years he will have alot of work with setting right the wrongs of Bush, and it's effects won't be apparent immediately.

This is the start of a Golden Age, not in that there will be no war, illness and poverty, but in that there is Hope again. Hope for change. Change for the better. A better world. And we are all the Children of this World.

Give Obama the chance he deserves to make the changes he has promised. Excercise patience by giving him the time to bring all this about, it can't be done overnight. Obama is not a saint and he will certainly make his share of mistakes, but wouldn't we all? Don't judge him for his wrongs but look for the good things he will do.

Enjoy the Golden Age that lies ahead of you. Enjoy it every single day and pray thank you, because it may perhaps be the last time. Accept this gift with your both hands, and observe it.

In the time of darkness, even the smallest light will shine all the brighter. So it was in the Dark Ages with King Arthur, and so it will be with Barack Obama.

Barack Obama is our new King Arthur of this time. Let us not forget the Camelot of the 21st Century, and let us praise ourselves lucky to be alive in this time and be part of it.
