There was never any doubt in my mind that Obama would win the Presidency of the United States. People were getting fed-up with the eight years of Rethuglicans misrule and the economic situation didn’t help either. So they elected an intelligent, charismatic candidate who can deliver the goods.
Despite the Democrat win, I am still adopting a “look-and-see” approach to how President Obama will handle the many problems left behind by the Bush administration. The only things I want done differently is that the US must pull out of Iraq, be an honest broker for a just peace in the Middle East, vis-a-vis the Palestinian issue and stop threatening countries with war if they do not get their way.

No prizes for guessing whose side I am on and if you still can’t figure it out, then its obvious you don’t bother about US politics. I have been leaning towards Democrat candidates for as long as I can remember, because of their generally non-interventionist foreign policy and internal social reforms, both of which involves less war and more peace.
And we certainly need a lot of that in current times.
Ironically, I could have participated in the voting since I am a born-American (and that, folks, makes me a US citizen) but I choose not to. Firstly, because it is such a bother having to travel to the US embassy and prove that you are an American (and I haven’t renewed my US passport for like 20 years) and secondly, I already had my fair share of excitement voting in the last GE. So I think I’ll just cheer by the sidelines and hope for an Obama-Biden victory….

Look at me doing the jig after reading the news that Obama has won. Now that its confirmed that Obama has won the Iowa contest. I have a good feeling about this win. I think the people of the United States of A are going to see their first African-American President (and a Democrat to boot) after that stupid Elephant fool in the White House leaves office when his term expires.
