It is finally here at last. The US Election Day 2008 has arrived. I am very excited about it although I cannot vote myself since I am not a US Citizen. I think this time. the election is a truly global issue, judging from the amount of interest the world is showing toward it.

I have never been interested in US Election Day myself, but this time it’s different. it could be because whoever wins will make history. It could also be because Obama, the Democratic Presidential Candidate, have lived here in Indonesia before, albeit for a short time.

Despite those of reasons, in my opinion, the global interest is also because, whether we like it or not, the result of US 2008 Election can and will affect the whole world. The world is in turmoil, and everyone knows that something needs to be done.

I really wish Obama would win, because he instills hope inside my heart. I believe my feelings is also mirrored by many Americans. I really am thankful for the internet, because at least I’ll be able to follow the results from afar. I’ll keep on checking CNN’s President Election Center 2008 website for the results.

Since the election is still underway, I guess it will take some time before I am able to see the results. So all I can do is wait. The world is also waiting right now, and all eyes are upon you, America. God bless us all.
