I thank Obama because ... he has restored my belief in America. I live in Scotland but have visited your country and have good American friends. Your country did have the courage to do the right thing electing him! And on a side note healthcare I am so grateful for the system we have in this country where if you are ill you will get care no matter what your social status is. Yes there are things that are wrong but overall I feel it is a just systemit provides help to people who couldn't afford it. I volunteer teaching adult literacy in Dundee Scotland and it has taught me that people you wouldn't look at twice are in fact valuable fellow human beings...Best wishesDavid Scherchen
