Finally after 21 months of hard work, Barack Obama has won the US president election. I have been folllowing the election with earnest, got John to buy me a few Obama shirts and in the last fortnight started wearing them in the rather republican suburb that we live in.. I dont think I won any friends doing this but frankly I did not care.
I am really proud to be in the USA on this very historic day. Obama deserved to win- it was one of the best run campaigns in a long time.. no infighting and definitely no issues on the cost of Michelle's clothing and definitely no questions about corruption charges etc.. (Take note JZ in South Africa and Sarah P).
I signed up on Obama's website in January of this year and even though I could not donate, I followed his ground up campaign with great interest. America needs a person like Obama, just like how South Africa needed Mandela in power in the 1990's. This man is capable of effecting change.. and at this point in time the US truly needs help...
Well done Obama.. here's to the next four years. And I am finally proud to be living in America.
