First of all, if Barack Obama becomes president, it will mean that only now, The War of Secession between North and South will be over. With a president of colour, son of a black muslim and a white woman, America will have won a great victory with itself, over the cruel racism and convulsive past. It is a message for the entire earth, a message that John McCain, the proud white anglo-saxon can not offer to anyone. What's more, Obama as the most important president in the world would also mean a major change in the massesÂ’ way of evaluating and making choices. Bush was elected as a primitive political animal, uneducated, even ridiculous, but with the appearance of a determined and God loving politician - uncouth and straight from the people.

But what gives me hope, as a Romanian from the land of far far away, is the fact that all the money spent on ObamaÂ’s propaganda and promotion is not for fools, stupid nor drunks.


Mai întâi, dac? Barack Obama devine pre?edinte, se încheie, abia acum, r?zboiul de secesiune, Nord contra Sud, început în secolul XIX. Cu un pre?edinte de culoare, fiu al unui negru musulman ?i al unei albe, America repurteaz? o imens? victorie asupra ei îns??i, asupra trecutului rasial crud ?i convulsiv. E un mesaj pentru întreaga lume, pe care John McCain, albul anglo-saxon mândru de ce este, nu îl poate oferi nim?nui.
Apoi, Obama pe postul celui mai important politician din lume ar însemna ?i o schimbare major? în modul de a evalua ?i a alege al maselor. Bush a fost ales ca animal politic primitiv, incult, ridicol chiar, dar p?rând hot?rât ?i iubitor de Dumnezeu – din popor ?i din topor.

Dar ceea ce mie, un român de la cap?tul lumii, îmi d? o anume speran?? pentru ce va fi de mâine încolo în America ?i în lume, e c? propaganda lui Obama nu e pentru nebuni, nici pentru be?ivi sau pro?ti.
