The change the world had anticipated all year has finally happened. America, has finally earned the right of calling herself the land of all possibilities.
A black + white, muslim named president. Something, the world had not anticipated, and in secret, neither did Americans. But somehow, it just happened. And the world has never been more proud of Americans than they have been today!
I'm sure they'll be thousands of blogs up today on their views of the biggest American elections in history. So i will not waste time to try to even sound as if i've been an ardent follower and pretend to know bollocks bout it.
All i know is, it took Americans 232 years to realise it is not a national threat to have a black president. It took them that long to realise that preserving white sovereignity is of secondary importance compared to equal rights. Americans have finally realised that it is not whether or not Obama will do a better job than McCain, but it is important sometimes to just have faith, and embrace changes that may or may not happen.
Question is, if it took 232 years for America to embrace a change, how long will it take us? What more especially when we have three, and not two majority races which makes up Malaysia?
We are not even talking about a Chinese or Indian prime minister. We can't even accept a new party for pete's sake. We have a long long way to go and we well deserve to be a third world country still in any given situation.
YOU ROCK OBAMA!!!

That's what I was thinking too. It took 43 white presidents for a so called developed nation to realize that CHANGE can happen. For Malaysia, I guess another 500 or more years for change. And yes, I agree with you, not even by other non-Malay component but by a non-BN component.
