After running one of the most disciplined election campaigns in US political history that spanned almost 2 years, Barrack Hussein Obama emerged victorious by a landslide on November 4, 2008 and returned the Democratic Party to the Whitehouse.
I must say though that the coverage of the election campaign by USA media was pedestrian at best, and failed the American people by (not dissimilar to their coverage of the Beijing Olympics) choosing to focus on trifle as opposed to covering the real issues at stake in the elections. The media failed to educate the electors about the candidates, to produce in-depth assessment and analysis of their backgrounds and the relationship and obligations that America has to its people and the rest of the world.I take nothing away from Senator John McCain, as he has served his country as a member of the military, albeit eons ago and almost forever as a US Senator. In my view though, although his war record was his greatest credential, it was woefully inadequate as qualification to lead America in this time.Barack Obama is the personification of what the USA is to most Americans, and to disadvantaged peoples the world over. He is the man that this time requires for America- A family man, an educated man, a man of proven moral fibre, a man with the intellectual skills, and the personal history to motivate and to bring the country together at a time when it is literally on its knees. Congratulations to the American electorate... you have matured enough to judge a man not by the colour of his skin, but finally, by the content of his character.Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama. And even as we celebrate, our condolonces on the loss of your grandmother. She will smile in her eternal sleep knowing that she has given a gift to the world.
Now, the real work begins.
