The Vote

I voted for Obama a few hours ago. No, I'm not an American citizen. In fact my vote didn't count. I voted on campus, my vote was part of an experiment on students attending American univerisites abroad.
Obama is my choice because he is different. Not racially, ok not only racially. He comes from a different background and his ideas are different than the republican presidents before him.
Obama is going to bring change or atleast he is going to open up the possibility of bring changing to America and the world.
Even though I want him to win, I'm really worried. He survived two assasination attempts, in Colorado and Tennessee. Part of me thinks of him as the next JFK, but JFK was assasinated. This thought doesn't help at all.

PS:- his Kenyan tribe, the Luo left Sudan hundreds of years ago to settle in present-day Kenya. Could we be related?
