Personally and on a more serious note, however, what I do believe is <br />truly refreshing and inspiring about the new American administration is <br />the new kind of politics that President Obama has consistently been <br />seeking. I believe we can all appreciate the style of politics that builds <br />upon those shared understandings that bring people together and more <br />inherently, those which bring a genuine sense of unity to a nation. And <br />with such a new energy in place, the country itself and its citizens begin <br />to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and take up the brave fight <br />in the face of adversity to re-establish their sense of home, their sense <br />of community. <br /> Today, I am here with you during one of the most important and <br />critical times that our Region has ever seen. These are truly defining <br />times within our time. You will get little argument these days about the <br />reality that we are going through a fundamental economic <br />transformation. We have both heard and learned of globalization. It is <br />truly a double edged sword in this region as globalization has both <br />helped us and hurt us. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
