Obama in the newspaper Seeing Obama in the newspaper today with some coverage on the history of the civil rights movement makes me realize how significant the whole thing is and that the "Obama craze" isn't just another fashion trend but something with deeper roots and meaning. It literally brought tears to my eyes as I read about the milestones of US presidency, from the civil rights movement era. 2 million people showed up at Washington for his official swearing in. 2 million. I was just thinking that it's great if Obama could deliver what the public wants and expects. And i have some faith in him to do so. I think expectations is the keyword here. He got where he is not just by charisma and sweet talk, but by certain attitude AND calibre that has been manifested so powerfully that people realize they should cast a vote for Obama. But because he is African American, and racial prejudice hasn't extinguish itself in the present America, IF Obama does not deliver and falls from expectations, I really cannot imagine what is going to happen to him. Of course I'm painting the worst picture scenario. I know. Just thinking about things... Labels: contemplative 12:13 AM
