There is a new man who can now be described as the most powerful man in the world. He is black.

94% of black voters in the US voted for Obama (according to polls). You would expect more than average, but are people voting for someone based on colour?

McCain had slightly more white voters than his average vote – which you might expect.

Some voters voted for McCain because they didn’t want a muslim to be president. They based this on the fact that the name “Obama” sounds like a famous terrorist muslim (and presumably his running mate Biden didn’t help there) – and Obama is not white.

Personally, I wasn’t impressed with either candidate. One was too old and his running mate was completely inappropriate for so many reasons that they’re too boring and too obvious to list out. The other has no experience, seems like a socialist, has a record of changing his mind constantly and will be assassinated before he gets warm in the seat. There is still a lot of racial hatred in the US and those boys carry high powered rifles and know how to use explosives.

I hope Obama does well. The whole world depends on a stable and successful America. I fear the worst. America is not ready for a black president – not in the mid-west and places like that.
