The Obama Mantra!!!

Finally, the U.S. presidential election 2008 comes to a historical end. This election will go down as one of the greatest victories for democracy and a symbolic victory for One America. It was a triumph of hope over fear. Barack Obama’s success is also a victory for the pursuit of that perfect Union with peace, liberty, equality, and opportunity for all.

The Austin American-Statesman, a local newspaper in Austin, Texas, reported a fascinating story of Amanda Jones, a 109-year-old woman born to a man who was once a slave, as she proudly cast her vote for Mr. Obama. After 50 years, 106-year-old nun Sister Cecilia Gaudette, a U.S. citizen living in a convent in Rome, chose to exercise her rights to vote for him. Mr. Obama received numerous endorsements from individuals who formed the backbone of the conservative movement in the United States. The long lines and massive crowds of over 200,000 in Berlin to over 100,000 in St. Louis to hear him gave credence to this phenomenon called Obamania.
