As a Canadian, in the words of a Canadian band: "Godspeed You! Black Emperor".
Do make say think...
Good job, black man. I hope you really change the country! I sincerely do. Let's all be happy socialists now, okay? and live in harmony with the society.
As long as you do what you say... and make what you think.
Right?

Hi America, I'm from Trinidad & Tobago and had been following this election closely hoping that Obama would win. No I'm not moslem, No I'm not Al Queida or any of those other America haters. I just wanted to see the land of Abe Lincoln and George Washington find back it's soul. From watching the election coverage, I know that John Mc Cain certainly found back his soul. Whether you're Gop or Dem, you have to admit that that was the BEST concession speech ever made. And befitting his historical status, PRESIDENT OBAMA gave such an inspiring victory speech, made me proud to be an American .. or would have if I was American!
The best birthday gift I would ever have asked for.
Thank you.
