Obama vs Hillary

I have never before interested much in the USA Presidential Election until now. The tight rally Obama vs Hillary from Democratic Party changed my whole attitude towards the election. Every now and then, i am eager to find out the result of the preliminary election as well as its final. Often, the preliminary polling and prediction do not hit the reality. In states where Obama is predicted would suffer a loss, he gained victory. He won in the last ten election in ten states including Hawaii. It's indeed a fenomenal sucess although the final result of the comptetion is still far to go. I beleive many non Americans as well as Americans pay close attention to this as it is first in US history to have the first black candidate, the first female candidate, and the first oldest candidate.

The victory of Obama in this preliminary election somehow surprises many. America has long been a racial country when it imposed slavery in its early establishment. It has left deep scar that maybe until now has not yet been healed. The civil war that had shattered the new nation at that time is not easily to forget. Many hope if Obama ever elected, it would create a monumental history in the nation. Further, the last two consequtive leadership of President Bush, Jr was considered at a lose end. War against terrorist that was practised unwisely had evoked many protests...war in Afghanistan and Iraq had cost many lives and finance...and now, America is in the verge of undergoing great resession as the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis and this rooted deeply in the loosely financial and monetary policies. Consequently, many have great hope for a change. A change that many find in the character of Obama. A man with mixed racial blood who is still young, optimist, shrewd, and capable politician.However, many still doubt him of capable leading a great nation as his experience is politics and stateman is considered prematured compared to his two rivals.

But, as history always shows that when people are thirsty with a wind of change, they will react impulsively to achieve the goal. The war is still far but the victory of Obama may be reflect the Amaricans' hunge for a change.
