Democratic Obama reigns

So the USA presidential election has concluded with Barack Obama taking reigns.

USA's first black president.

Admittedly, i didn't follow closely the progress of the campaigns and all prior to the polling day, particularly because, I'm not voting for whomever is running for the candidancy as I'm not US citizen and it concerns a country that I blame most major world problems for, so really, I can't be bothered. But even without paying much attention to the news of the US presidential elections campaigns, it's hard not to know how significant and prominent Obama has been, how constantly popular he is in the headlines. There have been countless talks about him winning even before the voting day. You'd have to be incredibly painfully and pathetically out of touch with the world to not know who Obama is.

So despite not having the interest or even a remotely small spot of bother for the whole thing, I did secretly hoped Obama would win, simply because he's not a Republican. Plus, you do have to admit, whatever happens in that part of the world, will eventually leave a trail in its wake that extends into our part of the world. Because he's a Democrat, you can't help hoping he'd put a stop to all these destructions and warfares Bush's unilateralitarian admin has initiated, done and continued doing even after his popular vote came down too many notches below being respectable. He did after all mention he'll bring back a large majority of the US troops back from Iraq within 16 months in office. And then he would work on the economy that Bush helped screwed up on. These are good reasons to root up for Obama.

So even if it doesn't directly concerns and bothers me, I'm glad Obama won.
