Yay for Barack Obama

I must say that I have high hopes for Barack Obama. It's not 'cos I'm been overwhelmed by his suave-ness or that I want to be able to claim to be living in the period in time when the first African American president came to seat. It's not just that. These may be one of the more superficial things a person could look at when it comes to electing a president. But I support him 'cos Obama is a symbol of what the world needs today. He is a symbol of change. A much needed change that the whole world needs in order to restore faith and hope especially in times like this. McCain is also good actually, but in terms of brains, there's surely no lack of that in America, I'm sure. But charisma, compassion, the ability to command attention and make us believe and move hearts - that's just 1 in a billion.
