Mau Kemana Indonesia…

Indonesia, negeri gemah ripah loh jinawi, Untaian zamarud khatulistiwa, nama yang luar biasa itulah nusantara. Negeri yang hari ini lagi asyik-asyiknya memilih putra terbaik bangsa sebagai nahakoda pemegang kendali yang akan memimpin  Indonesia ke arah mana 5 tahun kedepan. Apakah lanjutkan  Sang Jendral lagi, kembalinya Ibu Rumah Tangga pro rakyat atau kah Sang Pengusaha Makasar berjargon lebih cepat lebih baik yang akan menjadi bintangnya. Tapi siapapun jadi bintangnya kelak, harapan kita bersama rakyatlah yang jadi juaranya.

Text of Obama’s speech for his inauguration as 44th president

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.
