Dreams of My Father

Dreams of My Father

The US 2008 Election fever is on. Each of the presidential candidates is the author of one book. Barack Obama has written a book, “Dreams of My Father” and John McCain’s book is titled “Faith of My Father”
But, Bob Nobody has written a story told by his father during his young days, and another story about mothers.
Perhaps these two presidential hopeful should write stories about their mothers as well.
I must admit that I have not read the books written by Obama and McCain, but it would be interesting to know whether any of the readers had.


The Black vs. the Oldest

Since Unite States of America is the “Police” of the world, the US presidential election has always created a lot of interest around us. I have been following their campaigns closely.
Today all Americans shall decide who would be the next President.
Irrespective who he is, I am going to Gasing Hill to talk to the birds and bees while the rest of the world can wait for the result.
Let’s bet. I predict the Black will beat the White and Obama is on his way to the White House. Will he repaint the White House black as soon as he moves in?



Change it is

Obama’s winning of the US presidential election prompted me to write a few lines.
Obama, the son of an emigrant father became the 44th President-elect of USA on 4th November 2008. This was a historical event which saw USA, after more than 125 years, having a first black president. Well, he is not totally black because his mother is a white woman. It was a dream came true for the minority groups.
Why is USA so strong and powerful? It is simply because its citizens of all racial origins can make the changes the country needs.
What do the country needs? Choose the best available person for the nation’s chief executive regardless of race and belief.
At the local political science, our PM, Abdullah Badawi says, it is possible for a person from a minority group to become the prime minister of Malaysia.
So, how do we go from here? Think about what Martin Luther King, the black civil right activist said before he was assassinated.
This was what he said. “……judge not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character”.
