A movie about America’s first black President.
(He’s actually half black. But what’s with the skin colour label anyway?)
Who else to play him but Denzel Washington, who ironically has the name of America’s first President? I wonder who will play his wife. Or Hillary. Or his running mate Biden. I’m sure someone has started writing the screenplay already.
It was an interesting morning, going into CNN.com in between meetings to check the voting stats. As of right now, he’s leading with 338. He only needed 270 to win. McCain is barely halfway there with 156. This with 4 states to go, 2 of them with Obama in a comfortable lead.
It took 4 decades since their Civil Rights movement to get here.
And although I’ve never set foot in America, it feels damn good too see empowerment in her people, and how they can affect change.
There is hope for America.
There is hope for this world yet.

I wonder when Malaysia will see a Chinese or Indian Prime Minister.
Another 50 years?
*hahahahahahahaha*
Fat chance.

All i know, Tina Fey can play Sarah Palin.
A non-melayu Malaysia PM? Not in a hundred years. Cities will fall, people will die, blood will be shed before that ever happens. Sadly.
WN: Sad sad sad. Tina Fey is hilarious.

They’ve been a country for a long time. And it took only one administration to take away racially segregated policies.
Just last year in America, Caucasians made up the bulk of the population, with Hispanics coming in second. African Americans are now only the third biggest majority.
In our own “fair” land, the race with the third largest chunk in the population stats are…Indonesians. I doubt that my eyes, my kids’ or theirs, will live long enough to see a Chinese, Indian, or any other non-muslim take the land.
Good on Obama! And I vote Willie Slater (VW) to play his wife in the upcoming movie
WN: HAHHAHAHAHAHH! I think her name sounds much better as Wilhemina… more of the ‘ngriau’ factor. But Obama’s wife looks more like… hmm, Oprah. Hee hee.
