Obama’s new world
Posted in World at November 5th, 2008 ()It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn. Most of us really hoped for a day like this, but we’d never thought we would live to see it. Obama can’t save the world, but we all hope he will keep his promise and changes things. People are ready and ask for this, actually.
At Chicago, where people gathered for Obama’s speech, a reporter asked a guy, who was the owner of a big company or something, how he felt about the wealth distribution. And his answer shocked me. He said that he didn’t care if he had to pay more taxes, if the world was to become a better place.
And the world looks at the U.S.A. in a different way already. Everyone I know, is really happy, and feel optimistic for the planet’s future. We all want this change. We all hope everything will be better from now on. Not only for the Americans, but also for the rest of the planet, which the cowboy messed up, including the planet itself.
I really wanted Obama to win, but I thought this was not possible. I was afraid the potato man would be in charge of the world now, and the future looked dim. His only difference from Bush is that Bush is stupid, while McCain is ruthless.
What strikes me is that Obama had the votes of the 2/3 of American young people, while the majority of the elderly voted for McCain. Why don’t they care about their children, why are they so afraid of change? Change is good!
Of course many people are afraid for Obama’s life, but I hope they are wrong, as do they, I think. And let’s just hope the U.S.A. will stop controlling the rest of the world. Europe almost lost its character lately. Its personality faded and we all became more American-like. From our everyday life and our food to our jobs and economy.
Thank you Americans who voted as you did. Honestly, you not only did well for your country, but also for the rest of the world. And let’s hope things will work out and Obama will live to change things for better.
