Of Hope
I stayed glued to CNN today, to find out if Obama would make it to the White House. And at 12 noon Malaysian time, networks claimed victory for him and it did take a few minutes for the result to sink into my head. I may be half a world away, but Obama’s victory is to me a sign of changing times. That colour should not matter. That being a minority should not matter.
I wonder if we in Malaysia will ever come close to what the United States achieved today. Or if I will see it in my lifetime. I’ll try to be optimistic 
As Oprah Winfrey who was in tears when Obama gave his speech said: “Hope has won.”
