Thank You All Who Made This History Possible

Dotcom Note — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:09:13 +0000

At the age of 47, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the 44th President of the USA today at 12-noon. On Nov 4 Barack Obama made history by becoming the first non-white president of the USA, thanks to the support of 55% of American who put trust on his candidacy for the Unites States president after eight years of nightmares.

As I see the Republicans praising this historical day, I cannot forget the pre-election days when the same people were set to destroy him by branding him as a terrorist, a socialist, a liberal, unpatriotic, does not wear a flag pin, anti-American, a mystery man and all other names designed to make this day impossible. They did not want to give him a chance based on his policies.

Now the same people are saying that Americans made it possible. Folks, I am sorry. It was the people who supported him and believed in him, people who did not buy the smear techniques of the right wingers, people who thought his policies were the right policies for this moment in the history. Those are the people who made this possible and I salute them for their support through out his campaign.

Yes, it is a day that will be remembered in the world history. I hope that we should never forget what happened during the campaign – some people were set to destroy him and some people put their trust and money on his ideas of changing America for the betterment of all humanity.

McCain Sealed the Deal For Obama in the Second Debate

I watched the second presidential debate between the front runner in opinion poll, Barack Obama, and this old 72 year old man John McCain. McCain’s life ambition is to become the president of the United States of America but today he sealed the deal for Obama.

I am really sorry that his dream will never be fulfilled unless he comes back and give it a try at the age of 76.

McCain was better in this debate than the first one. He tried to provoke Obama multiple times into some nasty fights for changing the game in his favor at the last moment. But the cool guy, Obama, did not take the bait.

Obama explained his position as succitnly as possible in two minutes of the debate time limit. McCain was chanting tax and spend liberals, experience, country first, etc.

I still don’t understand why some independent voters at the end the debate said the they lacked specifics. Within the two minutes of time limit, they cannot give you the details of their plans but they definitely talked about the highlights of their policies.

If these undecided voters really want to know specifics of their plans, they can always visit their presidential websites for more details.

For the last seven and half years we have had the borrow and spend right wingers. McCain wanted to paint himself as the no-tax and no-spend maverick. Now let the voters decide.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving everybody. If you are not from the US (thanksgiving in Canada is in October), you may have heard about thanksgiving or you may be completely ignorant about it. It is a national holiday in the US.

Though it is not a religious holiday, it is about giving thanks to God for the things that one has at the conclusion of the harvest season. It is also the busiest travel day of the year.

The thing I like about Thanksgiving is that there are no gift giving, card exchanges or decorations. You just invite family and friends, and sometimes FOFs (friends of friends) to your house, eat plenty and enjoy the warmth of human relationship.

If you want to turnoff your TV and not watch football or Macy’s parade, here are 20 fun things you can do with family on Thanksgiving.
