“…The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly…”
El Senador Barack Obama se convirtió la noche de ayer en el 44to presidente de USA.
Y en las palabras del Senador John McCain, “acabó un largo camino” pero ahora empieza lo bueno no solo para Obama sino para USA y para el mundo.
“…My friends, we have — we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.
A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him.
To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love…”
Los titulares de algunos de los medios en USA:
NY Times: “OBAMA Racial Barrier Falls as Voters Embrace Call for Change“
CNN: “World cheers Obama victory”
Washington Post: “Change has come”
USA Today: “With Obama win, America changes course“
Si la popularidad en internet fuera el factor decisivo, entonces no hay duda de que Barack Obama arrasaría en las elecciones presidenciales de Estados Unidos.
En la segunda semana de octubre, Obama tenía más de 2 millones de “amigos” en Facebook, contra 564.000 de John McCain. En MySpace, Obama contaba con más de 700.000 simpatizantes y McCain, con casi 171.000.
Thomas L. Friedman wrote in his article: “And then there was one” published on The New York Times (Sept 02 2008), some interesting ideas about the presidential election and the decisions made by the candidates (Obama and McCain) so far.
Some college students are voting for the first time in a presidential election, and the energy issue is a big one among them. Actually, it is not a big issue only for them, I think it is for everybody.
So, the question here is, who is the “green” candidate?.
Friedman wrote some ideas that you might consider if you want to answer that question.
