A new president for America
We were at T’s parents’ place, his parents and I were watching the telecast of the election results. It became more and more evident that Barrack Obama is going to be the next president an hour after we started watching, T refused to watch further. 
Where we live in the Midwest is traditionally a Republican’s stronghold. However, it’s Obama’s home state and the unhappiness with Bush administration thus McCain has totally reversed the voting patterns.
It’s interesting how some of the republicans who ran for state attorneys, governors, circuit clerks sensed the trend and started to disassociate themselves from McCain and Bush in their ads. They tried to put forth their agendas without mentioning the party they represented. Whereas, all the ads of democrats have Obama and his endorsements! T’s father who is a longtime republican pointed that out to me few weeks ago and told me McCain is going to lose!!
I continue watching the election results after we went home and T went to bed. I watched until Obama gave his speech at the Chicago rally. It was a very touching and charismatic speech, indeed. Let’s hope he is sincere and will be the president of America who makes a difference to lives of ordinary Americans and the world.
