Change I Can Believe In?
Obama
Barack Obama is President elect of the USA. This is a truly historic moment and quite possibly, one of the most important results in my lifetime. I have avoided watching any analyses on TV or online. I want to get my own thoughts in order first.
A UK citizen living near London, I stayed up until 02:30 this morning watching the results come in. Shortly after Pennsylvania was called for Obama, a senior Republican strategist all but conceded. I figured it was all over and went to bed.
I have been a fan of Obama since I saw him on The Daily Show. He presented as a charismatic, young African-American, intending to run, not as black candidate, but as a candidate who happened to be black.
