Kbabslive would like to personally congratulation Barack Obama. He should be proud of his monumental achievement, doing what African-Americans everywhere have only dreamed of for the last few decades. It takes courage, intelligence and integrity to compete in what most would say is a white-man's world, and to excel at it leads me to believe that the future of the United States of America is not as bleak as once thought.
But anything has to be better than Sarah "Africa is a country" Palin. I could not in good conscience vote for a Prime Minister or President (vice or otherwise) if they were that ignorant. Computer illiterate, I could handle because not everyone is brought up with a computer in the house. However, forgetting (or just plain not learning) that Africa is a continent with 53 independent and sovereign countries, then actually saying it?
*Sigh*
I am glad that the spectacle of the Presidential Elections is over though, it was beginning to drag on for too long, like the bad joke carried too far. I am looking forward to seeing some fresh thinking coming from the White House in the next few years, as well as how the American public will react to his pulling of the strings.
Already I'm disappointed that some minorities have jumped on the assassination band wagon. Interestingly enough, I understand that where there is difference, there is misunderstanding, and there is fear. I can only hope that we don't see this bright spark go out too soon.
