Ghana: Is the World Ready for Obama?

Some may deny the existence of an American hegemony even in the post cold war era and like the reputed political scientist Samuel Huntington argue that what exists is rather a "uni-multipolar system with one superpower and several major powers." However the influence of whoever occupies the White House in international politics as chief executive of the American people is unquestioned.

"We took our grandson with us, he couldn't have been 5 or 6, and he was speechless ... just on the edge of his seat."
