obama is THE man!

YOOOOO

after an incredibly exciting outing to sentosa with apples and his 2 bestfriends (yes! i finally am going out with them..), i got home and my dad was watching CNN… a programme so exciting that it got my plugged onto the television.

i sat on the rocking chair and was hooked onto obama’s speech as he addressed some jewish leaders at some huge event. this event’s broadcast WORLD WIDE… his voice got my intrigued and hooked onto his speech.

after mcCain had called obama an inexperienced an naive leader, obama rocked the masses with his powerful public speaking skills, and his in-depth explanation of the policies and changes that he has in mind.

CHANGE, that is what the americans are looking for, yearning for and hopefully they would be able to live the dream of hope and change that america (obama) soughts for.. change is something close to the hearts of americans, change is something that obama has been campaigning for, something that he is promising america. we hear about him rallying for “change and hope that they can believe in…” but what exactly are the changes he plans to implement in america?

he finally got a chance to explain in specificity last night, the kinds of plans he has for america. as you listen to him speak, it just feels different, it feels special, it feels NEW. it’s as if he is really going to bring america into a whole new level. i didn’t want to swtich channels, neither did my dad. after going into details the kind of implementations that he has in mind, the masses clapped enthusiastically. i just felt then like it was the president of the united states of america addressing the masses. people welcomed him with open arms, delegates congratulating him with wide smiles on their faces. although it was evident that obama is rather exhausted from the past 6 months of campaigning, i just felt like he was the one.

then it was clinton’s turn for her speech to be made. she addressed the crowd, evidently worn-out, while she attempts to put a smile on her face. i admire her courage, confidence and perserverance in this campaign. she is so strong, so intelligent, so incredibly determined (stubborn at times), but she’s like the kind of woman whom many people aspire to be. sometimes i wish i had her confidence and determination. she knew she was already losing, but she fought on with unrelentless faith and fighting spirit. although i didn’t like how she attacked obama (i thought that was unscrupulous), i guess that’s how they do it in the states, which really led obama to step up to his game. i truly respect her for her fighting spirit.

i took a quick shower and when i got out of the bath room, i realised that my dad had changed the channels. i was like “daddy!! why are you watching the china channel?! why dont you wanna watch clinton’s speech??!”, then he replied, “it’s nothing. it’s the same. it’s not different. it’s the same old thing, nothing new.” so i was like “let me see!!! just for a while!!”.

true enough, when he turned on CNN, it suddenly felt very different with clinton taking the stage. haha.. i was like, ‘what the hell is she even talking about?’

after 2 minutes, i told my dad he could watch whatever he wanted. i’m not interested in her speech already.

in any case, obama will be representing the democrats in the presidential elections, while mcCain would rep the republicans. from a amatuer’s point of view, obama would easily beat mcCain. americans want a change in their lives and would want to solve the iraq prob differently. mcCain (the republicans) has a bad reputation at that, with him supporting the invasion of iraq, etc. however, analysts have mentioned that it won’t be easy for obama to beat mcCain by large margins, and that it could be a tought fight between the both. obama is said to be not as experienced as mcCain, has problems getting supporting from blue/white collared americans (elitist? is he?), and people aren’t sure if his wife is ready/fit to be the first lady of the usa.

i think it’s going to be an incredibly interesting fight between the two. and i certainly hope that obama would win the presidential elections.
