Don't disappoint us America

The world is holding its breath, awaiting a conclusion that it much anticipated nervously. It's been four years since I got up in the morning feeling handcuffed, disabled, and very disappointed. I remember thinking on that morning four years ago, is it really going to be 4 more years?

This time around the world is more hopeful, and if statistics don't lie, I think we should be seeing perhaps the most dramatic change in American politics in history.

Obama deserves the utmost respect for simply being where he is right now. If this campaign showed anything to the world, it was that there's wide spread racism all over America. Racism towards blacks, Arabs, and Muslims. I couldn't keep track of the news reports showing white grandmother's going on and on about Obama's master plan for Black supermacy, and that he is just an Arab in disguise.

Obama's victory isn't just a victory for American. It's a victory for the world. A world that is in need of a fresh perspective, void of racism, hegemony and greed. A victory for Obama tomorrow would be a true fulfillment of Martin Luther King Jr's dream.

    "Obama deserves the utmost respect for simply being where he is right now. If this campaign showed anything to the world, it was that there's wide spread racism all over America."

    MLK had "a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character". If we vote for O. just because he's black, is that not a violation of King's dream, rather than its fulfillment?

    Seriously, I don't like Obama, but I hate McCain, Obama is, as Steve Jobs would say, "a bag of hurt"...

    Read the following article, not for the support for Nader, but for the points it brings up against all the hype around Obama. Obama is the same shit, he voted for the war in Iraq, for the reinstitution of the Patriot Act, he sold out on his position on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, he doesn't call for the termination of the unconstitutional federal reserve (which is bringing America down to it's knees, and will cause the collapse of the empire if something isn't done about it)... He's more of the same, the only difference is that he's half black.

    Just like my dad used to say about bill clinton and Bush the elder "hada kaleb wo hada kaleb agrab" there is no difference between the two when to comes to what I value most, justice and peace in the middle east.
