OBAMA!


I don't follow the presidential election and today's the first time I saw Barack Obama speak in full, and as the President of the United States of America.

I was awed.

Not by how articulate he was or how well he delivered his first presidential speech.

Instead, I thought, "He's so normal!!!"

Here, the person I saw on the screen, is just another regular guy who could easily be that helpful neighbour or the guy in the next cubicle in the office. The subjects he talked about were mundane everyday problems which cannot be more real in the lives of millions of average Americans especially in today's economic climate.

Like Daniel said, he's a person.

By that normalcy, yes, I do believe America can finally sober up from its long years of stupor.
