Under the watchful eyes of the world America has once again made history. For an overwhelming majority, Obama’s victory creates the possibility for a ‘new’ America. One that is no longer white, homogeneous and singular; but rather multi-racial, heterogeneous and pluralist.
“We as a people” are part of a historic moment in our lives, Obama
said, that glorious night in Grand Park, IL recounting America’s brightest threshold moments from Lincoln’s Inaugural address to the fall of the Berlin wall, Americans have been at the center of all these transcendental events, and Obama’s victory will go down in history as the day America finally ‘evolved’.
Many of our allies in the world have yet to see a moment like this take
place on their own turfs. As the perpetual light bearer of the world, America has shown the ability to startle the world with our passion, our optimism and our sense of renewed hope. It is a place, finally, where the content of our President’s character is more important than his cultural background.

Obama's economic policy team: two thumbs up
Now that the United States is experiencing the biggest economic crisis in modern history, it is safe to say, that America’s best choice is Senator Barrack Obama. After eight years of irresponsible management and low-grade politics, the obvious choice is the Democratic ticket. But instead of capitalizing on the downfalls of the Bush administration and the offspring they have produced, here is why Obama's economic plan is the best option for America.
When it comes to improving the economic prospects of this nation at this critical time, the Obama economic team has highlighted the necessary steps for recovery, reform and renewability desperately needed in the unconscientious American financial system.
Heading Obama’s economic policy team is Jason Furman, a 39 year-old centrist economist and fiscal policy expert from Harvard University. Obama has also enlisted other top-notch economists and academics including Alan Binder, a Princeton University economist and former Federal Reserve Chairman; Austan Goolsbee, senior economist at the Progressive Policy Institute and columnist for the New York Times; Jeffrey Liebman, a pension and poverty expert at Harvard University; and David Cultler, a Harvard University health economist. Other prominent advisors come from The Brookings Institution, The Center for American Progress and Citigroup.
But the most exciting, un-official advisor and supporter comes in the form of an unpretentious billionaire named Warren Buffet, solidifying Obama’s bid for the Presidency. Buffet has held fundraisers for Obama and has rallied entrepreneurs, economists, and union leaders to back him, stressing the fact that it’s about time for tax reform and healthcare reform, specifically shifting the tax burden away from the middle class to the upper rich. In Buffet’s words, it is called social justice.
Finally, someone with enough guts has finally called McCain’s bluff. It’s not socialism you swiftboating morons, it’s social justice.
