Barack Obama Wins..!!!

I jumped in joy when the news flashed about Barack Obama winning..!!I so wanted to join all those African-American people and dance with them..!!he might have won the election to become the President of some other nation,but his victory gives a sense of joy to all!!
WHY I LIKE BARACK OBAMA...
first.I'm so sick of this belief in our country that white skin is superior.these 'fair and lovely' ads make me wanna get up and break the TV and also bash up all the people behind it..and whenever some 'darkskinned' person achieves something i feel like jumping and dancing and then yelling on their faces "see,it doesnt depend on the colour of the skin!!!".Barack may be only half black..but his apperance counts him out of the 'white' league..and for him to finally step out of the shadows and claim a place under the sun..it calls for celebration..!!!for me atleast..!!
Second hezz young..i mean not the age of our typical politicians(and indeed many of the American ones too)who can barely walk properly(read Atal Bihari Vajpayee..!!),save alone run a nation..a nation where the youth is in majority..!!so returning to Barack,I think hezz young age.. might prove to be a disadvantage as far as may be experience is concerned..but atleast hezz young,fresh and bubbling with ideas..!!and also I think the world is different now than it was in John Mcain's primetime..and a lot of today's youth identify with Obama..!!
third..hezz so charismatic..!!never once in his campaign has he highlighted his being 'different'. hezz never felt being a black sets him different from the others.hezz bubbling with confidence..and i so love that about him..I mean I've seen some of his speeches and his way of talking(firm yet polite),his gestures and of course his speeches,u simply have to sit up and listen in admiration..speaking for myself atleast I'm enthralled..!!!
fourth..his way of thinking..the way he has you no highlighted his policies,his plans and what he would do if elected,how he would go about his job..it delights me..while he didnot please everyone,he didnot waver a bit and was clear and clean..unlike Mccain who goofed up quite a few times..his vision and his understanding of things atleast to me seems clear and firm..!!
fifth...I love his persona..his is simply so charming to my eyes..!!the fact that a few years ago,he was barely known and for him now to burst on to the national stage and dislodge even people who've 'been there and done that'(like Hillary Clinton)..itz remarkable and speaks volumes about his abilities,his intelligence and his capabilities..to rise from a humble background..to not have been born with a silver sppon in his mouth..yet rise to phenomeonal heights of fame and importance..I think such people are to be celebrated.hen theres also the fact that hezz such a family person and he respects women..I admire his wife Michelle for she is smart and also a sharp,independent and a no-nonsense tolerating woman..!!soooo kkoool..!!
THE JOURNEY AHEAD
hezz got a hell lot of expectations resting on him..the entire world looks up to him now..and in this spotlight the way he'll go about doing his work..it will be heavily scrutinised..!!I only hope that he doesnt buckle under the immense pressure,lives up to all the expectations and the praises that've been showered upon him and does what is just,fair and benefits the majority..!!
GOD bless Barack Obama...!!!
