Off-Topic: History was made tonight
on November 05, 2008
What can I say? I am not from the United States of America. I am not at all into politics (this blog is not about politics). But for some reason I’ve been cheering for Obama since the beginning of the US campaign and I am very very satisfied tonight.
Hope he can live up to his promises. His winning speech was perfect: not at all cheering, but sober and serious, about hope and unit. I just wish we had politians like him here. McCain was the safety bet, Obama was the dubious newcomer. Messages of renewal and change with a good dose of reality-check are always welcome.
Congrats for the USA for this great step forward.
We had our brazilian super-hero version in 89 with the same faith and excitement. http://youtube.com/watch?v=tVAPdnN0VxU
Really hope they can make it happen!
Good luck USA, let’s watch that video again in 4 yrs.

While I appreciate your interest in American politics and hope that you are right, Obama does not represent the vast majority of Americans. He simply represents a desire for a different form of leadership than what was given by Bush. Understanding that the U.S. is a generally conservative nation (wiki conservative as it has a different meaning in the U.S. than in other nations often) and Obama is at the violent extreme of our society, his presidency will most likely result in a more divided nation. Pray for us.
