Obama Wins U.S. Presidency

2 comments

Against all odds, 47-year-old first-term senator Barack Obama from Illinois has won the Presidency and will be the 44th President of the United States. History has been made, be it for better or worse.

The heavens here broke, as I read of McCain conceding to Obama while having my lunch at a coffee shop along South Bridge Road. Superstitious Chinese would have wondered if that was tears of joy, or weeping in sadness.

Whatever the future portends, let’s hope President-Elect Obama will have the courage and wisdom to do what is right for the U.S, and reverse some of the obvious idiotic policies of the George W. Bush AdministrationRegime. It is certain that with the impending global recession, any more foul ups in the US isn’t going to be any good for the rest of the world.

Regardless of my apprehension and disagreement with Obama’s liberal stand on homosexual civil unions, I hope I can really look forward to some change which can be believed in.

Some of my friends sent me these recently. They are funny and are accurate in a certain point of view.


The update of the delegates score is here.

Pretty much summarizes this in one picture.

Anyway, at this moment I am evaluating my criteria for linking blogs and sites – that means who and what I linked. So for those who actually read this blog – probably just a handful – you might notice that some new links have been added and some have been removed.

The reason for doing so is simple: I will cease linking to blogs / sites that with views that I disagree with and also those which publicly disagree with me. Furthermore, it is of no loss and significance in getting de-linked (or linked) from this insignificant blog, so do not read too much into the action.

These days I really prefer a more passsive way in voicing my disagreement compared to making a public spectacle out of it. Upon reflection, I have come to regret doing so in the past because it has made me some really unnecessary enemies.

A good friend once said, ‘Life is too short.’ There are certainly more important things to squabble over.


The clue to the password of the last post is: 18+1; 9 – 11 Sept 9AD; 3 Roman Legions at Teutoburger Forest; Augustus Caesar’s Lament.

The password is case sensitive and contains a punctuation. Good luck guessing.
