Andrew Chan

Like millions, I watched as the United States heralded their 44th President with the typical fanfare we can only expect of such an occasion from the Americans.  There could be conjecture on whether the celebrations were to welcome Barrack Obama, or to finally farewell George W.  I’d like to think it’s a bit of both.

In reality, the event has very little to do with me or my business, but somehow I couldn’t help but find myself drawn to the words of President Obama during his inauguration speech.  His message of hope inspired and certainly captivated, and for a moment I thought the world was going to be “ok” again.   

Unfortunately I turned my attention back to business and realized that President Obama wasn’t carrying a Magic Wand with him.
