As people around the world settle in to watch Barack Obama sworn-in as the new U.S. president, thoughts, emotions and observations are spilling in from all corners.

Watch this spot for some of your words for the new president.

Kathleen Boyce: "Tomorrow marks the beginning of an era of hope as well as a commitment of so many Americans to giving of themselves for a common goal of peace, mutual understanding, respect and of course a solution to the world's economic woes. It is comforting to see such a man of integrity and inner strength with a solid purpose to be the best he can be for the common good of all Americans. He is young but his wisdom and insight will carry him through these coming trials he is up against. I see Obama not as the first "black" to win the Presidential office but someone who unites the people of USA. I am not a religious person but will say a prayer tonight for his safety and his family's safety throughout the years to come and trust him to do the very best he can with the talents God has given him."
