Obamamania
Whether you agree with the man or not, citizens of the world across nation borders have celebrated Obama’s presidential win. As shown by the photographs below, people from Australia to India will be affected more than ever by this new president. With the borders between countries becoming less and less important, people from all places of the world are celebrating one another’s triumphs. Especially with the Republican failed efforts at keeping a globally-favorable foreign diplomacy alive, citizens from other nations hope that Obama and the Democrat party can improve America’s policies involving other nations and in this way, save the country’s global image. This just goes to show that all nations, no matter what their economic prowess or social influence is, depend on one another and hence, must learn to work together towards future positive progress.

It really is crazy how just one man can improve the standing of a country. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if McCain won. I remember the night of the election, I was stuck studying for my poli-sci exam in the study room in Trinks & out of nowhere, a MOB ran through campus. Would that have happened if there was a different turn out in the election? Do you think people would have been celebrating on the streets here & in foreign countries? And why do people love Obama so much? Do they love him for real reasons or just because he his black? I wonder…
