First I would like to state that I respect the free will of countries when it comes to decide they way of being governed. Every nation has the government it deserves. The lesson i can understand about these polluted election is that looks like another SuperBowl where the biased media managed to keep us hooked.
Eventhoug Obama has won the most powerfull nation in geopolitical therms, military and market size economy, will remain being divided. The recent fracture that separates US comes from the election of Bush and the electorial ''favor'' his brother Jef did in Florida. The 29 electorial votes isn't just a symbolism.
I personally believe that the suspected legitimacy on 2000 election accelerated the process of reacomodation of the neoconservadurism and encouraged them to start their last and most hideous bet after 9/11. To create an external enemy so powerfull and sinister that would turn the attention off from the so called winning nation from the cold War and its actual probles, internal crisis, economical, political you name it.
The US has shown that they can be The Marshall of the World
invading (Afganistan and IRAK), overlooking UN security council, apply torture tactics with no sanction whatsoever
, hey they are even applying airport security clearences everywhere just because america says so.
All this as a exbition of power. Despite all this flamboyant show, the world dominant power hasnt been able to reverse its internal unballances, his growing Third World inside America country living on hopes of the American dream, the silent invasion of inmigrants ( Wetbacks!!! ) transforming american cities in foreign entities of Mexico, Guatemala , El Salvador, etc. The economical battle that has been almost lost against Fu Hao Li Chaing Chung Chin Paz jajaj China !!! The detriment of their healtcareand educational industry, the environmental chaos, SAVE the PANDAS.
Obama received a nation that had been fractured by the crisis of 2008 caused by the credit default swaps, if anyone needs any guidances to understand these ill be more than happy to explain the CDS. Im not saying its an excuse, but the rebirth of racial, religious and cultural hate really polarized the nation. The impulse of how you called the ''new generation'' that an african american president could turn things was lost in these 4 yeats on the so high unacomplished expectations that were put on just a single man.
The dashing movement of the Tea Party for me was the expresion of an ultra right that was not looking for any changes on the current situation, looks like they only looked for fragmentation .
Despite Obamas triumph america will remain being a great place to live and to visit . Ill always love american people and their core beliefs they stand for. Hard times will come for a great nation that dosent count Europe as a Great ally , the US will have to play a role as a referree on the European chaos of this last years. the question is will their political and military power will suffice to lead us out of this mess????
I hope no one is offended by my post, with kind regards to everybody on N cheers
