Today Barrack Obama became President Elect Barrack Obama!!!
I just have to celebrate and log my happiness in my blog.
I am usually not very fond of politics and elections. But this year, I felt my vote counts and my opinion counts. But since I am not a citizen of America, I couldn't vote. Oh Boy, did that stop me from being part of Obama's victory? No-ways. I vouched for him whenever and whereever I could. When I heard the news that he won, I took a moment to humbly thank God and then rushed to join a huge crowd at the Union Square in San Francisco to shout and scream O-bama. O-bama. O-bama... I felt happy and proud. I cried and laughed at the same time. Saw the tears of joy in both older and younger African Americans. Now, why should I be so emotional about this event? Why would his victory make any difference to me? I am afraid, I have absolutely no idea. But its alright with me that I do not know the answer.
Even before I knew anything about him, I started supporting him. Mainly because of the way he talked. His speech were show stoppers. Like gospel. A good orator can outrun anybody. His confidence was never shaken, even in the midst of obstructions like wall street meltdown, racial allegations or even the most eventful question about his birth certificate. He was a believer and nobody could shake his stand. He never uttered a single word which gave away his fears. Well delivered sentences while avoiding the tactful questioning of talented interviewers: not everybody can do that with ease. I admire his people skills and his faith in unity and teamwork.
I do know he will make mistakes during his tenure. But I believe he will not repeat them twice. That gives me hope for a better tomorrow and hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best.
Good Luck, President Barrack Obama!!
