Packed with news, that is. Following the GE news closely everyday; it has become a hot topic for every single person that I met. Exchanging our views and the current situation in the respective constituencies.
And then Osama died today.
I was very touched by President Obama's speech. His natural charisma, his way of touching people's lives with a simple statement, totally blew me off. I'm glad that amidst the chaos of all, a silver lining has shone through for him in his pick-up-the-pieces position as the U.S. President. Somehow, the U.S. citizens today (or yesterday, for them), came together again, reunited by the their loss and sense of belonging through the crisis, and emerged the (temporary) winner after 10 long years of battle with terrorism.
The line which left the most impression and probably was the one to nearly induce a couple of droplets:
President Obama: "... let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss ..."
Indeed, justice has been done, for all the 2,977 victims on September 11.
