The hip-hop nation down south have chosen its first hip-hop president! I don't mean that in a negative way. On the contrary, I like the fact that someone young, fit, modern, intelligent and black will rule the Americans. Go Obama!
I wouldn't like to be in his shoes though. No matter how popular he is right now, no matter how smart he is, he's bound to disappoint. As Newsweek magazine pointed out, no man alive can live up to the challenge of righting so many wrongs: two wars, broken economy and health care, shattered image in the eyes of the rest of the world. It will be very interesting to watch how the first black president dances around all those issues, and to see what will bring him down. Too bad, I kind of like the guy!
On the positive note, there'll be no more campaign messages, for next little while. Even up here in Canada, we got tired of it.
