Uncle Sam

Obama looks set to take the White House, if we go by all the stats and polls that have been churned out recently. But will race ultimately be the deciding factor? Is America ready for a non-white President? The key question is clearly whether the American electorate has evolved and come far enough to see beyond color and vote with rationale, not emo. With the economy and that silly fluffy mama Palin sinking the Republican ship, the Democrats certainly have the upper hand. The election has already been lost by Bush and his 8 years of disastrous rule. If McCain prevails ultimately, it will certainly be a sad day for America and the rest of the world. For America, because in times of crisis, they no longer look to hope and change, prefering to stick to their insular ways, the us/them thinking applied to white/non-white Americans as well. And sad for the world too: we wake up to 4 more years of Bush.
