NEWSFLASH: AMERICANS ELECT HUMAN

I cant really say much about this image. Without crying myself. Taken as Obama speaks of his deceased Grandmother. Fuck the race issue. The world is just proud you elected someone who can string a sentence together.
There’s been online buzz comparing Obama to Spock or Tuvok, emotionless vulcans, as he displayed an almost eery calm in the face of some of the most shocking attacks. But. he really is only human. Whether this will be to his benefit or his detriment in office, only time will tell.
(Shame on you, California.)
Back in 1997, courtesy of my British passport, I got to vote in a British General Election.
Years of failing, crippling government was overturned, and a new Prime Minister was elected. There was a sense of euphoria across the country, the something new and exciting was happening. That as a people, the UK had voted for change and hope.
Please, I hope to god that Obama does not replicate that. The world, and especially America, does not need another Tony Blair.
(And for those Americans reading - I love you, I love your country, with caveats and exceptions. That being - Texas.)
