I wanted so much for him to win, and he did. Obama won the US election. Obama, the first black (african-american, in case you're still sensitive over these issues) president. It might not have anything to do with me, but I don't know - I've been rooting for him all this while.
His win is called a "historic victory", and I couldn't agree more. I was listening to the radio in the morning and it was said that McCain was leading with 8 electoral votes, whereas Obama only had 3. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, this is how voting works. Or how I think it does. But I ain't making this up. Anyways, no matter how many citizens in a state votes for either McCain or Obama, it doesn't actually matter. What counts at the end of the day is the Electoral Votes, as I have mentioned above. Electoral Votes comprises of votes from people of higher posts. Senators, mayors etc etc. In short, I am very happy with what America has decided on. For the first time.
# "Obama, 47, will be inaugurated the 44th US president on January 20, 2009, and inherit an economy mired in the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and a nuclear showdown with Iran."
I am very certain he will be able to take this on man. My gut feeling tells me so, and my gut feeling never lets me down ;)
# "Obama's historic inauguration will complete a stunning ascent to the pinnacle of US and global politics from national obscurity just four years ago and close an eight year era of turbulence under President George W. Bush."
A paragraph that says it all. Ahh, my eyes are twinkling with pure merriment. Finally, an end to killing the innocent. InsyaAllah. I'm at the library now and I have no idea why the guy beside me is breathing rrreeeaaalllyyy heavily. As though he's gonna pass out anytime soon. Kinda getting on nerves actually. Ciao bananas. Lecture now.
