I really don't see the cause for all the excitement. I can understand why African-Americans are excited, it's the first time the US has picked a president from a minority (can't remember the exact percentage but its around 20%)
For Africa, it probably bears not real significance. Obama is American, his priority is America. I believe his dad (the Kenyan) abandoned his family and Obama has only visited Kenya a few times. Would we be this excited if it had been Hillary Clinton, an election which would have been just as historic? PS: I was routing for Obama, mostly because what he said made sense, not because he is black (ahem, African-American) J On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 12:31 AM, Dennis M S <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Need i say more....history has been made ,now every down trodden > fellow can dream....it can only b USA > _______________________________________________ > LUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug > %LUG is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ > > The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including > attachments if any).
