A Black President for USA

Mr Barack Obama, an African American, became the President-Elect of the United States of American, a first BLACK president of a dominantly white country.

He won by large margins to his opponent John McCain. Before the election, pollsters showed the two of them were very close to each other without either one being an obvious winner. And the media was speculating that the racist white Americans would ditch the black Barack Obama on the election day itself.

Well, maybe the opinion polls helped Obama, because they gave the voters an impression that as the two were so close in the polls, if they didn't vote in Obama's favour, Obama may actually lose to McCain!

And of course, one person who must not be left out of Mr Obama's thank you list is the junior Mr Bush. If he didn't mismanage the country and get this once wealthy country into piling debt, then Mr Obama might not even have a chance.

Oh, never mind. A great day to remember...
