Man of the Year : Barack Obama

Photobucket

Congratulations to President Obama. Babies are smiling on your success.

Now can someone tell me....why is everyone so happy?

Why yes, a Black dude in the White house...sounds like Yin Yang.
A black dude for President of the United States, that certainly signifies changes that is to come. Everyone in US(well, the ones who voted for him) must be rejoicing.

Fine.

Congratulations.

But I don't understand why is everyone so happy? Even people in Japan!!

Japanese Hawaiian Girls dancing for Obama? WTF??

May be my fault for not being able to see what everyone else is seeing but....why so happy? I mean, it's not like he's elected PM of Malaysia. Or that he will present a big gift to Japan if he won...

All I see is a nation who finally accepted the idea of a black president after years of Hollywood movies projecting a African American for President. And also because of the "superb" job Bush had been doing, people more or less have phobia of war-minded politicians...

So once again...why is Obama's success something to rejoice about?

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not McCain's supporter and I'm not anti-US....but I don't see the point of clapping hands and smiling about it either....

It's all about something considered impossible actually happened. Everyone's cheering for the historic change.

As for the Japanese girls dancing Hawaiian, just a way to actually revive the economy of their little town. They will just to do anything to get attention in order to make things better for themselves.

People in Kenya even made it a public holiday. :D When you see the point, maybe you will know how significant it is lor, Randy.

I am impressed...and I am aware of the significance that America has finally got over their racial issues. And that, that fact effects the whole world...and also Malaysia. As we now know that with the people power, even a chinese guy can be PM of Malaysia.

Nods my head in amazement? Yes..

Feel happy as in "YES!! Obama won!!!!" ? Not really....

Since everyone is putting up picture of Obama, thought that it'd be interesting if I put up something different for a 'change'...^^

>Vince
Yeah...but this was beyond racial...
It was like choose the black(hair) president or white(hair) president...

Endoru said...

Haha, black or white hair president. That's funny. :D

m@y3 g@L said...

Well endoru, black n white hair was true too..Haha

to me, big change was from war-minded president to non war-minded president... other than that where people are saying racial abuse is over, i strongly disagree, just saying that because they choose a black president doesn't mean racial abuse is going to stop everywhere. but, i totally agree with endoru, people are just trying to get attention to help themselves... long live democracy...

>Maye & Endoru
Actually, I realized that when I saw a picture of them on the paper, side by side...lol

>Ganeindran
Yeah....that one city named Obama in Japan. Now, if terrorists ever want to do some terrorizing, all they have to do is bomb that place!!
Yeah...racial abuse is far from over. Just like how the blacks abuse the whites in US. White folks in US are now so afraid of describing colors....lol.
Just like the new game Resident Evil 5. The game's gonna get sued because it was set in Africa. WTF? What ever happened to all the white folks who got killed in Resident Evil 1,2,3,4??
