The Audacity of Hope



I have never been to US, i don’t even wish to. Life has been hassled, yet perfect in my own country. I am in a way addicted to the organized chaos called – India. Yet, I found myself glued to the TV, watching the Nth rerun of Barack Obama’s speech at Grant park after he won the Presidential election. And I realised, I had Goosebumps...

Going by the history, the Republicans (McCain’s party) have always been better with India, more open minded about my country’s growth and a bit less blind about Pakistan’s active support for terrorism. Then why was I wishing for Mr. Obama to win? He is a guy with not much to show in the experience field. Will he be able to steer America’s economy out of this meltdown? Now that is something that is a must for us, a weak American economy threatens to pull us all in the sea.

Obama swept the elections, and he has won the hearts of the common people from all over the world... people who can’t even spell his name, wanted him to be elected. I know people who have had no formal education and have no knowledge about American or world economy, rooting for Obama.
Why Obama?
I thought about it.. (oh yeah, i do think a lot . lol)... and the only answer that made any sense to me was – Mr. Barack Hussain Obama II represents the most vital , most precious thing that has seen human race through the centuries.... Hope.
Obama represents Hope... and there is no bigger temptation....

    Obama represents hope.
    Also, he's against killing kittens.
    He wants library books returned on time.
    Barack is really, really against bad things.
    He is too busy being good and hopeful to answer questions from reporters. But he can always find a few surrogates to attack reporters who don't agree with him.
    Yes, he can always find the resources to attack bad people: the people who doubt and question him. So don't tell him where I live.
