The Elections

The Elections !!!

Tonight is the big night of the elections. The outcome of this night well have a major influence on the rest of the world for the next 4 years and maybe even longer. The two canidates for the elections to become president of the United States are Barrack Obama who is supported by Biden & John McCain who is supported by Palin. Tonight we know who is the president and basically the big "boss" of America for the next years. I am definetly sticked to my television tonight.
Last Sunday me and my friends went to downtown Cleveland to hear Obama speak. After waiting for a few hours and an introductory little concert of Bruce Springsteen, Barrack came on stage. The public went crazy and I have to admit that Obama is a very charismatic speaker. I managed to grab the attention from the audience and spoke strong language, which powered the people up to vote for him. After half an hour it started to rain and we decided to leave, but I am happy I saw Obama live. Because there are not many Europeans who can say that.
If I could vote I definetly would vote. I probably would vote for Obama, because I am very democratic orientated. I don't believe in God, I am strongly against the war in Iraq, and there are several more points which leads my vote to Barrack. Moreover I found it interesting that if elections were in Europe I am sure that Obama would win really easily with at least more than 70% of the votes. Most of the European countries are Democratic and in Europe lives a strong hate to conservatives. I think it is interesting how this differs from America.
Furthermore Americans may think the elections are only hot news in the USA, but I speak from my experience of being in both parts of the world as I say that, how strange it may sound, the elections are bigger news in Europe than in the USA actually. Everybody who I spoke the last weeks is staying up the WHOLE night to follow the vote counts, as there is a time difference of 6 hours with most of Europe and 5 hours with the UK. I am excited about tonight and can't wait to hear the outcome. I think that Obama has the better chances, but it is always a gamble who it is going to be. Also I think it could be good for the equality of people to have a black president. Although I am being annoyed very easily, by (black) people who vote for Obama because he is black and don't even look to his stand points. I don't think "being colored" should be an argument of becoming president and it pisses me off that some people do use this as main reason. I can't wait for tonight. Tonight is going to be a change in the world, which will be in the history books in the future.
