YES WE CAN!

That's the slogan the new president of the United States of America gave us. I didn’t feel THAT excited as a lot of people did when the election result came out last night. Actually, I was a bit surprised of the big sweep by Obama, I expected a much closer race. Obviously, John McCain was victimized by the Bush administration of his own party, and his campaign partner Sarah Palin was over-unfairly treated by the propaganda. Even so, McCain showed tremendous class in his conceding speech. As a person who fought for his country throughout his life with heart and soul, he deserves all the respect. I personally think his best moment in this failed campaign was this quote he said in the last presidential debate: “Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago." -- His best moment in his campaign.” On the other hand, Barack Obama’s victory was certainly historical. What he demonstrated in his acceptance speech was a humble man who does not promise as most politicians do but has the determination to do whatever he can to make a change. Change is never easy, especially when the role model on the top of the pyramid need to influence the mass foundation of the society -- the PEOPLE. But I look forward to that, because a better America means a better part of the world.
