    I think he maks everyone dream of a better place, and this is enough to let people think that he really has the Magic Stick. Of course, he will have difficult issues to deal with but at least he is a person that is open to others and to different cultures. He will not solve the middle east conflict overnight, but we can only wish he starts working on it seriously…
