Change has come to the USA?

The map of USA has changed…USA has the best relations with all the countries of the world…terrorist organizations have become ‘bum chums’ of the USA, North Korea and Iran are allies of America, USA has changed to Utopia...no no no…that’s not the ‘change’ or the type of change we witnessed in the history of USA…but, wait, the entire world is talking about a HISTORIC CHANGE in USA, even the brand new President of the US said, “Change has come to America”! Ah, yes, there’s a change in the USA, George Bush Junior is no longer the President, nor is the Republican Party in power anymore. So, what is it? Well, we have the man of the moment, Barack Hussein Obama, America’s latest Prez. Nothing unusual, USA always had a new Prez after at least two consecutive terms (if not one). Here, the situation is ‘different’…Mr Obama is the FIRST, yes first Afro-American President to be elected, rather the 1st Black or ‘coloured’ man to ever come to power at this zenith!

Barack Obama owes allegiance to the Democrats, he may be the front man or the ‘face’ of the Democrats; however one factor can NEVER be ruled out- it’s the Democrats who have come to power in the USA. A little history about this new Prez- born to a black Kenyan father and a white American mother. None of his parents are alive and his maternal grandmother passed away recently. It is DEFINITELY a feel good factor as Obama will be the 1st black Chief Executive of USA, after 43 ‘white’ Presidents in the 234 year history of the nation. All these years, not only across the globe but also in the US, we have witnessed numerous incidents of racial discrimination wherein the most common incident observed is suppression and oppression of the Blacks and the colored across the world, mainly at the hands of the Whites, who claim to be a ‘superior’ race. It is certainly shameful and not at all ‘ethical’ as all humans are equal. So, in relation to racism, oppression and slavery, it is a thumping victory, and let us consider Obama as the fortunate one to be a part of this moment of glory and the ‘eligible candidate’. The bottom-line is- USA has its FIRST black President in power, to ‘rule’ one of the MOST powerful countries of the world. Now, the biggest question is, will this so called change make America invincible? Will racism end forever? Will terrorists never strike the USA? Will America erase terrorism from the face of the earth? Will this change reverse the economic meltdown and fortunes of the financial wizards calling the shots from Wall Street? These are just some of the questions which will remain in the forefront.

God is the foundation on which the USA was built, even the US currency states- ‘In God we trust’…here, we have the Democrats, known for their liberalism…for them matters like same sex marriage and abortion are pretty normal, which are ‘abnormal’ in the eyes of God! Right now, the US is TOO overwhelmed by the ‘Black President’ factor, which means racism isn’t over yet…the vote bank, color, political agendas still rule the roost, be it the USA or any other country. Some may even consider Obama’s meteoric rise vis-Ă -vis the thoroughly experienced John McCain, that he was a pawn at the hands of the Democrats…All said and done, its good, to see a Black President, next term, the turn’s for Bobby Jindal, the Indo-American Republican, howzzat? After all Norman Mailer had said, “America is the country in which the dynamic myth of the Renaissance- that every man is potentially extraordinary- knows its most passionate persistence”.

That will be a nightmare. Besides he is somewhat ashamed of the prefix "Indo"....

you'll find numerous articles about him and his policies, but this nicely summarizes some of them:

I dont think it'll be a nightmare & about he been ashamed of the prefix- I don't think so...maybe people are assuming the same because of his faith/belief
