It's Been Amazing

The future seems to look brighter in many ways.I actually became a bit misty eyed listening to Barack Obama’s victory speech. He is an excellent speaker and if he meant what he said plus has the fortitude to follow through on his uplifting words, America may be in for a brighter future than otherwise thought.

He harbors no fantasies...only movement...

Outside of all things I never thought I would watch the finalities of the United States Elections. I had to get to bed too early. There is so much that has gone on with this campaign that one could literally write a book on it all.

Two very good men were challenged with trying to become the President of the USA. One is the going to be the newly elected President is a great man, which certainly does not go out in a negative manner as I think that SenatorJohn McCain is one that people respect witha capital "R". To have been a wartime hero, and as well to go out as a winner not a loser is the style that only comes by way of nobility.

Now in my life I have never had that many times where I have truly been amazed. I mean amazed in a way that you see something that has happened by the people. Let’s leave everything aside for a moment but what I am trying to say is that I never have seen people from within the United States so passionate about a man. While at the same time, I have never watched several people from all generations and from all different sorts coming near tears as they listened to an appreciative speech - which was indicating, "this is not about me
this is about you".  I was listening to the radio and it mentioned that 77% of Canadians if given the chance would vote for Obama, then there was a statement from an American newscaster that mentioned, “Do note that this is not being watched just by people here in America, it’s being watched by people all over the world”.

As it was.

I can’t place words on how pleased I am. I guess on person from Spain summed it up, by saying he not only represents the United States, he almost seems to represent a worldly view that here in Europe we can relate with. It’s really from many standpoints working “from the bottom up”. President elect B. Obama may very well be an impeccable movement – if he became a movement, he obviously knew what he was doing with his political team and administration. Is Borak all about color? 

 I think he has inspired the black American culture, but he represents much more yet he has illustrated that one can do something if they really wish too as well as we saw how prejudism is still prevalient.  But for myself this is the best thing I have seen in some time. And time has been a very rare commodity of recent. Most of all I think he showed what makes a president and how not to be diplomatic. I don't know what the statistics are but I am sure that this was the most watched address across the world since many many years ago.

Some compare him to Kennedy, but Obama is not Kennedy he is President B. Obama. I can see how he has made it to being the President "elect", but he had no family members that could pull strings for him as John Kennedy did wish his father Joe. Borak did it with people that merely respected him.

I am so happy that this all worked the way it has, and if I can really say it, I don’t really know how to summarize how I feel. But I feel very good with the finality of this campaign, the end of the Bush/Cheney era, and I look forward to what does come.

~ On the television, from Chicago, Jesse Jackson, himself a former presidential candidate, had tears streaming down his face. From Thailand, that giant of public service, Colin Powell, told an interviewer that he and his family all cried as well when Obama was named the winner. The next day, at the State Department, Secretary Condoleezza Rice promised to help the new administration adjust to office and then, struggling to keep her composure, talked about her pride as a black woman in an Obama victory. ~
