I have this idea that politics are nothing but a game to see who can tell a lie more convincingly. The best liar wins. I'm completely skeptic about it.
I'm not really into the elections at US, but I've been reading about it daily at newspapers and stuff, and the part that interests me the most, is obviously, Obama's ideas regarding America's policies towards South America. That's cause McCain doesn't even talk about it. And Obama talks so vaguely and dispersive I know that: a) he'll leave it just the way it is; b) he has no fucking idea what he'll do; or c) he disagrees with everything that people kind of expect from him down here, and is a bit afraid of saying it right now. So, really, whatever. US' elections kind of change the world a bit, depending on who gets elected, but for me, it will be just the same thing. Like most things. So, I just don't care.
Having said that, my opinion is Obama getting to Washington is much more important concerning the meaning of it, than what ever he'll do once he's at the White House. The anti-americanism is growing at a gallop around the world, due to Bush and his stupid game tactics, and how he thinks the world is his playground and then contradicts himself by, for example, attacking Russia for doing the same things he does [not that Russia is right or shouldn't be attacked, but by him? Sounds more like a joke]. I think Obama there means so, so much more than just simply a new president to the US. I think at this point it's really important for America to have him as a president, even if he's just a liar.
In the other hand, if he disappoints too much, or turns out to be a Republican in disguise or anything of that sort, it will most likely ruin everything, and another guy like him won't be elected for some time. At least that's what I think. Although I could be wrong. I thought something like that would happen two years ago, when we had our presidential election here, and well, it didn't. People's faith never ceases amazing me. I wish I could be that faithful.
Anyway... That's just what I think. And, since I'm very far away from America, I don't get really the picture. Just have my impressions.
