Obama’s victory is a very interesting topic. He’s just won a historic election because he is democrat, black and young. I think it is a real progress for the US because it means the Americans have chosen him for his ideas and they have not taken the color of his skin like an obstacle, Obama is the first American black president! And moreover they have chosen democrat ideas. He doesn’t want to be only associated to the color of his skin, but he has played on, he said about himself he was the child of a black Kenyan and a white from Kansas, he is like an allegory of the mix, of the union. In France we are very happy about it, and a lot of French people were sure of his crushing victory on John McCain. I’m really glad about his victory because now at school the future generations will learn the Americans have finally a social security,a healthcare system, and they can have acces to abortion and the war in Iraq will be finished in 2009 or 2010. I find his program is really better than anything we could imagine for the US but I find some things with which I disagree like the capital punishment maintain. Also, he spoke about a civil union for the homosexuals but not about wedding. However, I wonder where he will find the money for all the changes planned. If we compare the Democrat party in the USA and the “left” in France, I think they are very far from each other because about many objectives, Obama could be like the french “centre”.
I listened his victory speech and I really liked it. I was impressed because I’m not American, I didn’t cast my vote and however I was moved, really touched by his words. He talked about the Black cause, the women history, the present, the future, and he uses the image of an old woman, Ann Nixon, which I liked because we can really imagine the big change someone who was born in the early XXs has lived. I just don’t agree with the fact he congratulates his family ect... because I think he is the future president and his family doesn’t have any politic role, but I know it is very present and important, particularly in America, to be a symbol of virtue, even in the private life, so I wasn’t surprised.
I’m profoundly full of hope for the USA and the USA are the most powerfull nation in the world, and a huge change like Obama’s presidency could be the beginning of a new era.
