Que Viva América!

draft-

You have to give it to the blue giant of the West. Yes they brought the financial crisis with those greedy bastards at Wall Street stealing billions of dollars, but they also gave us a huge lesson about how the future will look like.

Obama did not win the presidential election by getting 100% votes of black people, he won the election by getting, whites, blacks, Latinos, woman and Asians on his side. As you watched the crowd celebrating on Chicago you can see the diversity of the country.

Only in America could a black man with a Muslim background be elected president. Black people achieved through him the highest job on earth. It does not get any better than that, and it gives you a perspective of how the world will look like in the future.

Russia, Japan, China, India will never imagine to elect a minority leader as president, neither will a middle east country elect someone that is not Muslim, and sure enough Israel won´t have a catholic as Prime Minister.

But the US little by little is embracing its different emigrants into its main power. Now they have a black man as President and a woman as majority leader of the house. Nancy Pelosi is a tough leader who managed to succeed in a man´s only congress.

What is emerging and great about this is that Democrats being more tolerant have taken most of the seats available on the senate. They end up having a strong majority on every power seat in the country. The rest of the world may be thinking, what?

Yes the US made a lot of mistakes, mainly caused by a monochromatic party, but also by contempt to its minorities. Latinos felt abandoned by republicans, blacks no doubt about it since Katrina. A lot of changes are happening fast, the main one, America thinks green
Obama is not a black President he is a human President of the most diverse country in the world. You have to give it to America, they have done it again, they elected the most capable guy because he was most capable. As he will be sworn as the 44th President of the US next year many of the rest of the world will be thinking, is this true?

It is true, and more than that, this is the future, right now, right here. Que Viva América with all its flaws and all its achievements. Many black people were crying with joy when Obama was coming to the stage. The next leader could be a Latino, of maybe an Asian, a woman, or a regular white guy. It does not matter anymore, you truly have the chance of being something in America.

All those US haters may be left with little to cheer for, yes you hate the country but still have family there, or friends, or like a band, of the language, of their technology, sure you have doubts about the war on terror, but felt empty when the twin towers felt on that horrendous day.
It is not a matter of a new day for the US, it is something to embrace and think in the rest of countries. Unless you have the best of all cultures, of all people, you will be left as a third world country.

Every minority in the world is winning everything, from sports to elections. Take into account that we all are similar in the end. When it comes to color we prefer green, and not the kind of good green that could save the world, but the evil green that is making it disappear.
Anyways, I saw a nice picture of a pretty blond girl on top of her dad´s shoulders cheering for Obama just behind a young Latino guy. On another shot there was an Asian lady holding a camera just as a white commentator announced the latest results.

Congratulations to Obama and all that he carried on with this election. May he hold his word and have the courage to fight all the problems that the nation faces. McCain also made a special conceding speech saying that he feels that being an American is more important than any other thing. To all of us that face differences in our own countries this prove to be a life lesson, only if we unite as a nation to be better. We do not back our elected leaders, we wish them the worst, and that only mean, that we all get the worst.
