it is too early to tell; the man had not been to the White house yet, much less make a single decision.
The electoral votes is the system to win or lose, it is no secret for either candidate, Obama did not only win that with a 2 to 1 margin, which is quite impressive for some one who has been in the public arena for less than one term in the senate, against a so-called war hero, with 26 years in the senate, not to mention Obama’s handicap as non-white with a middle name such as his, he also won the popular vote by a healthy 7%, it was not 50, 50 as you thought.
At any rate, doI take it from your skepticism that you would not have said “too early “had it been McCain!!
talks primarily about the "maturity" of the american states, or its people. And it could be true that the outcome of the elections showed that the american people have grown in their political view of the issues in the world, but still, the results also indicated that it was not as one had wish for after the series of silly mistakes and misuse of power by the Republican leaders. I wanted to say that almost half the population are still aligned with the views adopted by McCain and Bush. If MaCain had won,i would not say too early, because that man had clear agenda towards the others in this world. However,Obama vowed for reforming and fixing the economy inside, and we are not sure how he will fix the situation outside the states (especially Palestine and Israel), but we yetr have to see how he will solve it (if he is gonna solve it at all).
Precisely, the article was about the maturity of the American people, to live to their “advertised “values of freedom, and equality, that every man is created equal, that there’s is a color blind society. Something that has never happened in the political circles, especially the office of the president. And now that a majority of the American voters, both the popular with about eight million voters, and the electoral by a 2 to 1 margin, voted for a black man to lead the country, that is what I called without any hesitation, maturity.
He, Obama, as we all know, inherited from Bush much more problems than Reagan from Carter, and if this was a corporation, it would have been impossible to find another CEO to take it over from a CEO who managed to run it to the ground, but he fought for it and got it, and it is all his to fix.
If anyone is looking for a magic solution, that things will be fixed overnight, then they will be disappointed, as the roots of the problems are deep, it took eight years to create this mess, building things is far more difficult than breaking them.
By the way, the vast majority of the American voters did not go to poll thinking about Israel and the Palestinians, an issue that is dear may be to you and me, but do you really expect him to fix just like that!!! , a problem that has been going on more than half a century, and has been tackled by many presidents in the past, the most one can hope for is a serious engagement with all parties in the middle east to reach a comprehensive fair and just solution to the problem with a realistic view to the facts on the ground.
I watched the primary debates with friends and predicted that this young man will make a surprise though all of them opposed me. He is definitely an eloquent speaker, well educated and and intelligent, but the folowing debates showed that he has promises rather than a detailed plan as that of hillary clinton. The slogan of change along with his charisma and Yes we can, were appeling to many including the Democratic Party leaders who saw an opportunity to use him to control Washington, both the presidency and the congress mathematically. By getting the vast majority of the 13% of black voters,( they got 95%) of these in fact, along with majority of of others minorities including latino and moslem americans,. These millions of voters explain the 6 millions more Obama got in the popular votes more than McCain. With Good planning and more funding, they could get double the electoral vote. Bottom line, the democratic Party used Obma and sacrificed Clinton to gurantee the black votes, Race was used effectively , it is not rebirth nor maturation, It is only Politics. But the problem, although I agree with most of the Agenda of the democratic party apart from abortion rights, is the political use of race may fireback and the Obama factor may fireback, he is having an identity problem and his choice of the killer man Rahmo who has a similar problem is a good clue to his character.
I hope he proves me wrong not only for America but also for the rest of the world
He made a lot of promises he can not keep, the best exaple is pulling back troops from Iraq, it is not in his hands and again the best clue is Rahm Emanuel
It is not rebirth or Maturation, it is rather well planned Politics
لديمقراطية كانت وستظل حكم الصفوة باختيار الرعاع .. ولكنها أيضا ستظل أقل نظم الحكم شرا ..
I am always reminded of those who cannot see the forest for the trees.
Obama was elected the president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not the united states of ARABIA; the voters were the citizens of the USA not the citizens of Egypt, Syria or North Africa. His obligations and commitment are first and foremost to the people of the country that he was elected to serve, not to those who cannot even help themselves, those who accept tyranny and dictatorships and sing all the praise for their leaders and the sons of their leaders who will inherit the presidency as if the country and its people had become their own farm to do with it as they damn well please, but then turn around and criticize the democratic process in the US which by far the best there is on the face of this earth.
Whether it is “maturity” as I called it, or “Rebirth” as Awni called it, it is a step in the right direction in the history of freedom and equality of this nation, you can call it whatever you want, and that is not going to really change anything. Cynicism will not take away any thing of the great and unparalleled achievement of this man, either on a personal or national level; neither will take away anything of this nation’s leap to the twenty first century as a leader in freedom, democracy and equality, not one bit.

or so as I see it. I wouldnot call it "maturity" of The states, but rather being pushed by specific motives and needs (mostly economical). If you look at the election results, you see that the population almost voted 50%-50% for both McCain and Obama, and it is the electoral system that is built into the American election system that have helped obama gain success in the final outcome (160ish mccain to 360ish for obama). But anyway, i agree with you that this man was far alot more organized and focused than his rival, and i hope that the coming days will prove more of this "maturity" of the US.
