Barack Obama in Chicago
7 11 2008He is the first US President that I have never noticed so seriously before. Although Obama may not solve the current weakness of financial situation in US shortly, he has succeed to bring a Hope to US. This Hope is not just by his speech, but his life, showing nothing is impossible. A black man leads the White House.
As Obama’s slogan, ‘Change’ is really come to US. Not only this, he also changed the ‘fact’ that no black in the leading role for hundreds of yrs. He has also proofed that US is still the leader of the world, not because of the financial side, but of the political side. US citizens shows the maturity and freedom to vote for their new leader. The process is smooth ever. The loser, Mr. John McClain shows his extra-ordinary humble respect to Obama without blaming on anyone. He asked his followers to support the new president with him just because they are US citizens ! It is a great comparison to that in Taiwan recently, right?
I am impressed by him but I also wonder. I wonder if HK ppl are mature to vote their governor in 2012. I even wonder if there is any politician with high quality as Obama to lead us, or as McClain to face the failure with this kind of humble mind. I wonder if anyone can say ‘It is not a home for lawyers nor workers, a home for left side nor the right side, it is our Home of Hong Kong.’ I see none now.
奧巴馬是我第一個如此留意的美國總統，雖然我不相信他能一下子改變美國如今的困境，但至少他已帶給希望予美國人。這希望不單是因為他的講辭，而是他自己的人生。他讓世人看到世上沒有不可能的事，黑人入主白宫！
正如奧巴馬的口號，「Change」，轉變的確來到美國。不單如此，整個大選更告訴世界為何美國仍是領袖：不因為經濟，乃因為政治。美國人表現了如何自由地和成熟地選出領袖；麥凱恩如何顯出大將之風面對失敗，他更鼓勵支持者一同支持新總統，一同為國家出力。這正正和台灣成一大對比。
我自己一方面受感動，另一方面懷疑香港人是否有如此成熟的智慧去普選，更懷疑是否有政治材能的人可以帶領香港，至少現在我們看不到有…
