A few words on Obama

I guess since it is the season to be choosing, I 'll just let every one know I've made my choice... So why Obama, it is simple, he represents many things:

  • Something foreignly familiar. Obama reminds Americans that there isn't anything truly American. That ours, is a culture forged through a cacophony of differences brought together for the sole purpose of survival.
  • Something positively naive. Obama has been accuse of being naive in regards to his foreign policy approaches. Well then... I believe it to be no more naive to engage one's opponent through negotiation than through brute force. Just humor me a bit: was it not naive to believe that the Iraqis would greet us as heroes with laurels and candlesticks of peace and love.
  • Something gallantly combative. Politics has this way of taking the best of us all and forfeiting it to the worst. Yet, here we have someone who while playing a dirty game is still able to hole sway with out having to get in the mud pool of his opponent. His gallantry has remained his greatest panache, facing each criticism with keen and thoughtfulness.
  • Finally, Something rejuvenating. If Barak looses, America looses. He has brought to the American presidential electoral process something we have not seen since the days of JFK, "General interest".

  • Beyond that there isn't much I can say...
