Obama I can feel the change already...

I would not be honest to myself or where I've come from if I did not say the following...

The next President of the United States is going to be Barrack Obama. It is going to be a landslide... at least by American standards. I figure it will be by at least 9 %, And I believe this is a good thing for Americans and the world at large. HOWEVER, I do want people to realize that Obama is not some mystical figure nor does he live in a vacuum. Americans will be disappointed when the hype and rhetoric of hope and change do not equal the result they believed the voted for. This is not to say that Obama will be a bad President. In fact I think he will be a good President. I do however want Americans to realize that Obama raised a lot of money and he has to answer to the powers that be that provided the money. As such all the hope and change that Obama has promised has been less than realistic. But again I do say that Obama is going to be a good President. Not that it would be hard considering the last eight years.

I do not envy the man or the position that he is in. 2 wars. A failing and soon to be terminal economy. And the Tiger on the rise.

I wish Obama all the best and hope that Americans turn out in droves.
