"It may look dark tonight, but if I hold on to hope, tomorrow will be brighter."

He is inspirational! And no, I'm not obsessed I assure. I'm just awfully inspired. Listen to what he says and you know what I mean. :)



Why do I like him?

I like him because he has a charming smile, a persuasive voice, a great charisma and personality, is sincere, is open-minded. He dances, he cracks jokes, he hopes to adopt his puppy from the shelter, he thinks mutts are as lovable as pure breeds. He's so real and down to earth. Most of all, I like him because I share his views and policies, his vision of a real "united" nation regardless of colour and background, his empathy and concern for the less fortunate, his courage to fight for peace - he opposed strongly to Iraq war in 2002 because he thinks it would be a tragic mistake - "What I do oppose is a dumb war!"

I've never met someone in politics like him. I've never been so involved & compelled to watch him make history. I knew he was going to win. :)

I think he is destined to change America and bring hope. He will be a great leader of the new generation.

Yes we can. Yes we did! For those who believed in him, the moment he was announced president-elect was a most touching moment. I can't say for all but I can say for myself - that I'm so glad I'm part of this great history - 4 November 2008.

HOPE has come. We will have a better tomorrow. :) :) :)

Make History.

I love this advert and the way it was filmed. :)

Yes We Can. Yes We Did!

This is such a cute song by Don Arbor. He dreamt Obama won and hence wrote this song of celebration.


Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4th, 2008 in Chicago.


Hope & Change. The next great chapter.

CNN: Obama makes history by winning presidency.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

I've been on CNN Live Video since last night. D, my American friend was rather amused at my excitement. D2 thinks I'm obsessed (I'm not). Haha. I heard Obama's acceptance speech after he won. He's a charismatic speaker. I'm happy he won. :)

Things are looking good for Obama! I'm pleased! :)

CNN: Poll shows strong Obama lead.

Mark Blumenthal of Pollster.com says Sen. Barack Obama is leading Sen. John McCain.



The story
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden ripped into recent comments by his Republican counterpart that suggested that some places in the U.S. are more "pro-America" than others.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told a fundraiser in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Thursday night:

"We believe that the best of America is in the small towns that we get to visit, and in the wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard-working, very patriotic, very pro-America areas of this great nation," she said.

Yes, We Can!

I've never been interested in politics my entire life, until Barack Obama. He exudes this indescribable aura which is very captivating and engaging. There is something about the man. The amount of support he received from the Hollywood stars and famous personalities is sensationally phenomenal and there are good reasons why - if you listen to him. An estimated 38 million viewed Obama's speech; highest-rated convention in history. It was an excellent delivery.

From Alice Walker, Ben Affleck, Caroline Kennedy - who caused a frenzy penning "A President Like My Father", Chris Rock, Ed Norton, Eddie Murphy, George Clooney, Bill & Hillary Clinton, Halle Berry, Hulk Hogan, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Aniston, Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, Matt Damon, Mike Tyson, Morgan Freeman, Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Stevie Wonder, Ted Sorensen, Tobey Macguire, Tom Hanks, Usher, Warren Buffet, Will.i.am to Will Smith. The list goes on. You get the drift. I've never seen so many celebrities unite to endorse a particular presidential candidate. This action speaks volume.

I remain baffled to-date on the issue about the colours of our skin because stripped out of them, we are all the same. Whether the President is a black or white - it doesn't really quite matter, does it? As long as he truly cares for the Nation and his people, is righteous, has good leadership, great judgement and visions - then I think, he will be a good President.

Of course, as I've always said, we each have our own mind so it's only fair we're entitled to our own opinions, as such it's perfectly fine if your opinion differs. For me, the choice is stark clear.

I've shortlisted three clips which I think are worthy to spend some time watching (besides the speech by Obama).

Why the celebrities are supporting Obama.


The music video "Yes We Can" premiered on Friday, February 1st, 2008. It was inspired, will.i.am told ABC's Alisha Davis, by Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and in particular by the speech he has gave after the New Hampshire primary.


Ted Sorensen thinks Obama may be the new JFK.
