So in my last blog I spoke about the world wide support for Obama and that I would most probably vote for Obama.

My blog posts get posted on Facebook and one of my friends in the USA commented on my post disagreeing with me, I asked him why and the 2 main reasons he came up with were:

1) Experience (age and time in office)
2) Lack of understanding as to what is required to steady the American ship

Now from my side and the rest of the world we just read bits and pieces that gets put on the web, from all the news I’ve been reading I initially wanted Hilary Clinton to win and since Obama won I’ve been generally ‘supporting’ his nomination.

BUT is this what the world needs, is this the right decision based on what we read from the news… The reason I bring this up is because if this is my opinion from here all the way in South Africa what are the people’s opinions like in the USA/rest of the world and how easily is it swayed?

For me, I just want the republicans out of the Bush mess but who is better – McCain or Obama? I guess we’ll see in a couple of hours.

But I can definitely see its quite a heated matter as I just made a few comments on Facebook and got quite a few replies quickly from my American friends.
