… and we are still bickering about race politics…
America hails its first black (rather, non-white) President in the form of Barack Obama who beat whiter than white John McCain by a landslide 338 to 129.
President Obama.
2008 has been a tumultous year and I think this caps it all off. Interestingly, look at the map of America and how the people voted. Note how the coastal states all voted for Obama while the middle America voted McCain.
Anyway, I’m waiting to see what happens now. Malaysia had a landslide victory in the 2004 elections when we voted in Mr. Clean and his government. 4 years later, we came thisclose to throwing them out with the dirty bath water.
Will America see the same thing happen in 4 years? We’ll have to see how Obama performs.
