I believed it is no longer news that everyone should know by now that Obama has won the US 2008 Presidential Election. I don't think this news came as a real shock to anyone since he has been the favourite to win this election.

I'm no politics fan and neither do I follow this election really really closely, but from how I see McCain and Obama position themseleves during their Presidential Campaign, my vote goes out to Obama if I were to reside in the US. I think the biggest reason is because many people want to see a change especially now when the world is going through a global economy recession.

Obama promises many things during his campaign (like which other president candidate don't). I just hope he is able to deliver what he promises and turn things around.

Just a side note, I was watching the news last night and I found out that apparently SMU actually had a lecture hall booked up just so their students can sit in there and follow the latest progress and news during yesterday's election. Reason given was because they wanted the students to learn and be interested in politics. But erm, from what i saw on tv and those people they interviewed not many were local. I always have a theory why local young people are not interested in politics. But i guess maybe not many will share this similar thought, so i guess i'll just keep it to myself. :P

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing Obama leading the White House and seeing what are the strategies he is planning to implement that will affect the world eventually.
