Barack Obama! The real American dream!

I have been watching the live election news for the whole morning. I am so happy that Obama won. I am not an American, but this election is the most amazing political event I have ever seen. This is an important moment not just for the U.S. but for the world. Barack Obama’s victory will give people a new opportunity to look at the U.S. and see its changes.

November 4, 2008 marks the end of the longest presidential campaign season in the U.S. history — 21 months. Barack Obama changed the American history, he is the first African American president. Congratulation!! His background story is the real American dream in eyes of outsiders. He represents the new thinking, the new direction and the new goal. He has ability to change the international image of the U.S. and to change the perception of how people think of the U.S. in Europe and Asia. His attitude made me think of that he is one of those political idols in the revolutionary age of history. I adore him!

I am very sorry that Obama’s grandmother couldn’t hold on one more day to see the grandson she raised to become president of the U.S. The winning speech of Obama was excellent. I love it! It was so touching, not only expressing the victory of his battle but the glory of his race. He is indeed a passionate performer. He is charismatic. He believes his grandmother is watching him. She feels proud of him. Barack Obama is indeed the second person who gives political speech I love after Tony Blair.

America is a country with different races. Colour was a matter of the fact that people did concern in the election that I read a lot from various American politics researches. Obama’s victory shows that the boundaries of races in the U.S. politics have dissolved. A black man defeated the establishment candidate in a primary white state and the fact of a record turnout of Democrat voters suggests that Americans are seeing the need for fundamental changes. Obama is addressing issues facing mainstream America, not just the civil concerns. The U.S. economy is not in good shape. Americans are disappointed with the establishment politics, unemployment rate, financial crisis, high taxes, the medical welfare and the current presidency. The whole world is enough with the wars, and disappointed with the worldwide stock market crashed that caused by the Wall Street firm bankruptcy and mortgage-backed securities. Obama is seen as a solution. Hope that he leads the U.S. well, and he can really change the world as he said in his campaign. Becomes the real hero!!

I guess the coming Thanksgiving would become the most thankful day of America after such long presidential campaign….

For the time being, we all still need to watch Bush walking around on T.V. from time to time until January 20, 2009….. LoL
