Hello☆This time I read economy news.
I'm interested in economy and internationalization.
I want to know more and more economy news around the world.

Let's read it☆
I think top news is Mr. Obama became a president in 2009!!
After world war, nobody became a president by African-American people in the US.
But, in fact a African-American became the president☆
Now, We need new power in this century I think.
