A Black President for America

American have spoken. Senator Obama is elected as the first African-American president. Many of my friends, colleagues or people that I know hate American. They said American are just a bunch of capitalist victimising people from developing countries or third world countries. American are the biggest bullies in the world. They produce weapons and sold them to third world countries like Latin American or African countries causing major unrest and chaos here and there so that they can reap abundance profits.

But this time around the majority of American supported a black man of a mix origin to become their president. American trusted Senator Obama's capability to steer the country out of the current financial turmoil. They believe in him because of his credibility and capability,hence, skin color is of no influence on their choice of candidate. The American want a good President, regardless of his origin and his past. Obama had admitted that he used marijuana, cocaine and alcohol during his high school days. But does this make him a bad president?

The former leader of the People Republic of China, Deng Xiaoping said, whether it is a black cat of a white cat, a good cat is the one catches rats. Malaysia is blessed with the diversity of multi races and heritage. Whether we can turn diversity into prosperity hinges upon the mindset of the people.
