As a new LPR in the States I was thrilled to have a first hand experience of the US Presidential Elections 2008.

Well the moment, I heard the name Obama, the only point came to my mind, was no way, no how, no obama and my hopes were clingin on to some “messiah” who will come and take the US out of the Iraq ‘mistake’ and things will be sorted out.

As the story unfolded, I heard this gentleman from Chicago speaking that made more sense than anybody else said, and on the GOP side it was really a chaos getting unfolded which started reaching climax with the introduction of Ms Palin into the national politics (by the way, I was already familiar with Gov Palin, not because of her outstanding achievements in Alaska but for her looks!!) as McCain’s VP selection. Furthermore the final nail into GOP’s presidential bid was nailed with Sen. McCain suspending his campaign during the ~700B Financial bailout (well, it has now snow balled into more than 1 Trillion in some aspects!).

Finally even my adrinalin levels were skyrocketting by the time final presidential debates were being performed, and despite my strong conservative ideology, I really wanted Mr. Obama to lead the US into 2009, not because I have now changed my lanes, BUT due to the simple fact that its an irony that GOP didnt send anyone who was worthy enough to lead the United States of America from 2009 till 2012.

Hmmmmm… I do hear something familiar which goes like …. “We the people…”.

Gob Bless America!!
