Obama

A defining moment in the history. 

This is a country that turned around itself from obvious racial acts to sublime racial feelings. I do not see a single african american in my office which houses 3000 employees. I do not see a single african american in the train I take everyday to office, which ferries employees of hi tech companies. Equality is more of a superficial exhibitionism, rather than a realty. Its eloquently announced and limited to public advertisements where every other model is an african american, because there are laws that goversns it. But they are just exhibits to conceal the inequality and racism in this country. 

With this being the reality, what Obama has achieved is tremendous.



Inspiring Victory

The joy and excitement among non whites was contentous. There were african americans in tears all over the audience Obama addressed to, there were african americans, overcome with joy, unable to speak, in televisions. What it showers is an unseen confidence to non whites,  to re live that American Dream, to pursue the hopes for a better life, an air of confidence that assures anything is achievable, a spirit to take up the challenges for a better world. 



But, Did anything change?
 
Everything was in Obama's favour. There was a tremendous anti - Bush feeling around and democrat campaign and the media together turned it into an anti republican, anti McCain feeling. McCain campaign wsa less about why he should be the president than why Obama shouldnt be. He never could present a case to the voters why he should be elected. Adding this to a general feeling for a change(Indiana and N Carolina being a THE BEST examples)  in hopes of a better financial condition gave america the new president. 
Only 38% of the white population voted for Obama, what else could be a better symbol of an unchanged america? There wasnt a sea of change, as oppsed what those sensationalist reporters or jourlists are telling us.  



We need a Visionary in Obama

Yes. We need a visionary. What he has been  bestowed is an opportunity to bring about changes, economic and social, that will permanantly change people lives. There is a lot to do. The speech that he gave yesterday wasn't typical of a politician. In debates he resembled an analytic human being. He should continue to be so. And be a visionary to bring about changes, an intellectual when attempts the problems of the world, philosophical to heal the historical wounds of this world. 

Let's wish him all the success.
