Valdemaras' Thoughts

For the first time in the history of the United States its people elected an African American President.

Barack Obama's charming personality and his fascinating presidential campaign made it possible. Not only his speeches were reasonable, but they were also very emotionally involving. People were crying listening to him. The way he spoke and what he told made people feel important, his speeches made people feel that they can change something, gave them hope and a feeling of pride in their nation.

Certainly, the speeches were prepared with the help from (if not by) public relations experts. But does it imply that all that he told was a lie and that all the emotions were simply faked? Apparently not, as it does not imply the opposite either.

Seeing the popular music videos created during the Obama's presidential campaign leaves no doubt about how extraordinary the elections were: Yes We Can, I Got a Crush...On Obama.
