Obama!

American don sneeze, the world do catch cold o. It is really a hot chase with both of them defying tradition as they campaign in a fight to finish bid. The polls showed Obama leading but the projections are dicey. And in a country where na onikun lo mo ika (na person who hide wickedness for im stomach no where e hide am) we are all waiting for the results as we keep upholdng dear Barry in prayers.

The election has not been without hitch with both sides trying to dig up as much rubbish as they can against each other. Right now it's more about craving the indulgence of those who are yet to vote. The McCain camp are trying to pull a dirty prank by making automated calls in Spanish to Latinos to tell them that Castro supports Obama and by implication they should not vote for him.

Reporters are having a swell time playing the game they know best. Their reports still have to play host to electoral results, malpractices, faulty machines, and by implication lawsuits. Evangelicans are split based on the issues of health, tax and economy. While McCain seem to have the edge, the split based on issues means folks may vote contrary to tradition. John took some "blue" states for granted and this may very well work against him.

Hmn, who get headache, who dey take panadol; you ma sef leave ya doormouth go watch election! Here, people are buzzing from one election party to another; hopefully drunk driving won't be the next issue after the results. Whatever happens tomorrow Barry has made history, he has raised the stakes and given the whites a run for their supremacist mentality and opened up the gateway to a level playing field. Indeed there is no discrimination against excelence. The money he raised which some question helped him to strategise and organise. Also, the fact that Hillary gave him a fight put him on his toes and made his natural abilities and leadership skills shine.

Contary to opinion that his grandma who died yesterday did not wait to see her son become President, she waited long enough to see him excel above the ordinary. It is indeed a bitter-sweet experience to be here to watch history as it unfolds in the midst of an economic regression.

Whoever becomes the President-elect will return to Congress to plan a transition into a dishevelled economy as we all continue to prayerfully take our future in our own very hands.

Enjoy your week.
