The europhia over Obama's triumph is still lingering in the air. In amazement and awe of his capabilities as a person of colour, we cannot help but praise his humble victory. Indeed, change has come to America. It was just centuries ago that slavery happened. It was less that 40 years ago that lynching happened and a black was just three-fifths a person. The inhumanity and elitism was still rife then. Today, a new wave of post-modernism has swept over America. Finally, people have truly grasped the idea of democracy for all. Hopefully, Obama's charming, suave nature and confidence will translate into solid policies and rational decisions that will benefit the rest of the world too.
