Whether or not I agree with Barack Obama’s stand on the current issues, it’s hard to ignore that it was history in the making when he was elected President of United States of America, yesterday. Not only he’s an African-American, he’s also wildly popular with the young Americans. Since I’m not in my 20’s, I tend to be more conservative, which is why I was concerned about his “playing both sides” strategy on tough issues like abortion and gay marriage. But, for this you-can-have-it-both-ways world, Obama seems like a good fit. Being young himself, his appeal to the youths of America gave him the critical advantage in this election. There was a huge turnout of young voters yesterday, and it made the difference.
America’s crying for a change. I sure hope Obama lives up to his promises, for everyone’s sake.

I’m glad he has gotten young people to get involved. I’m also glad that he won. I am also worried, like many, as to how long he will stay alive. Congrats to the entire U.S. for making such a stand.

Hi Reggy,
How long he’ll stay alive? What is this, the John F. Kennedy era?
hi Rudy,
I was thinking of writing a post on my new blog about the election results but wasn’t sure what to say. Now, thanks to you, I don’t have to. You have summed it up very nicely. If anything, I’ll just put a link to your post. Short, well balanced, very insightful.

hehe just because it’s already happened it doesn’t mean that someone won’t try it again! Don’t get me wrong – I want him to stay alive. Maybe for once our ‘cousins’ can be viewed by the world as *not* a nuiscance!

Feel free to do so, Steve. I appreciate your participation in my blog.
Reggy,
Joking aside, I do think this country is bigger than that. Sure, some believe we made a mistake in this election. But as a powerful country as it is, America will hold him accountable. This country will suffer (or reap the reward) of the choices it makes. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, you know what I mean?
[…] Anyway, I thought about writing a post on the truly historic election results but then saw a post over at Rudy Amid’s blog that I thought I’d link to instead… Obama the 44th President of USA. […]

why is obama the 44th president and not the 43rd
can someone please clearify for me
Everyone’s so “in love” with Obama, they all wished he was president a long time.
Let’s see how he does in the next 4 years, and see if the honeymoon lasts.
