...From day one of his presidency, Obama has shown that he is fully engaged in crucial issues. It is very reassuring to know that America is governed by a serious man. It is also motivating to be able to tell our children that one of the planet's most influential leaders can be a rock builder with a compassionate heart. Aziyadé Poltier-Mutal, Pully, Switzerland...
