After listening and watching to an almost 2-year gruelling cam'pain'ing, Americans voted for an African American to be their president for the first time in history. This seems to be a symbolic gesture to the whole world about the Equality America has been preaching for years. How much of this is followed in spirit and work needs to be seen.
Congratulations to America. Hope Obama is their hope against hope in over coming the present shitty economic situation they are in. And so is the world.
One thing am really astonished was/is the way Indian media coverage of the US elections. All the major news channels covered the whole euphoria surrounding the election with so much enthusiam that it felt as if the elections are being carried out in India!!! Hopefully they will show same enthu to some of the burning and 'relevant' issues we currently have and help in bring about a change rather than just give footage to some silly freaking sensational news!!!
