Let us hope that Barack Obama as the next President of USA , would export peace and good will , rather than war and destruction.

In the long campaign for the Nomination of a Candidate from the Democratic Party for the election for the Presidential election of the USA in November,2008, the winner is the “American people “. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton were just two candidates. And it is significant that the American people elected a candidate not because of colour or gender, but because it demonstrates Unity , to show the world that real democracy is still living and breathing in the USA to-day.

We look forward to the confirmation of this great show of undivided American Unity and its great democratic wisdom, in the final choice of the President of the USA in November this year. In selecting Barack Obama for the Presidential election, the Americans have shown that of the two candidates, the finally elected President should be either a Republican, or a Democratic, without distinction of colour, or creed.

This is a remarkable turn of events in America where the nation, apart from the ethnic American Indians, is made up of pioneers who left their homelands to begin a life, in the New World. The Afro-Americans were the only community, that was not a part of that exodus to the New World. They were the natives of Africa, “kidnapped” by slave traders, and forcibly transported in atrocious conditions, and sold like chattel into slavery.

Though Barack Obama’s ancestors have no connection to these sad beginnings, he nevertheless, represents a great majority of Afro-Americans of such origin. Therefore the Afro-Americans are a more honourable community that was forcibly displaced, which today, with the ascension of Barack Obama into a privileged position in American politics, asserts its African origin, and vindicates the humiliation and the deprivation of its rightful place in the American Society.

American democrats’ acceptance of Barack Obama, as a respectable American to be the next President of U.S.A , is a credit to the noble aspiration of the American people. Obama is by far the best to represent America any where in the world. He will be accepted by those who had been critical of the American leadership, as a positive contribution to the world shattered through terrorism, divided through religious, social, and economic disharmony, and suffering in poverty.

The world in turmoil today needs, the leadership of a nation which is economically and technologically rich, to promote peace. The world does not want a militarily powerful America, but it wants an America which is open to dialogue, an America which is generous, and ready to accept different political points of view, an America that would understand that the breeding ground of hatred, and discord among nations is the social and economic inequality, an America that will be able to coordinate the rich nations to develop the poor nations.

The problem of immigration, the developed countries are facing to-day is the result of non development of poor countries which are left to stagnate in poverty.

The world needs an America that would take steps, in collaboration with the UNO, to ban the production and sale of arms and ammunitions, and use that money to develop the countries of the third world. This had been so far neglected by the rich Nations, as destruction and the division of the poor countries is a means to maintain power and leadership. Some of the recent American Presidents did not export peace and goodwill, but used wealth and technology to promote war and destruction.

The world expects Barack Obama to change the “tradition” to bring peace to the world.

Barack Obama will change aggressive American Politics, to make democracy meaningful.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a courageous candidate. She is of course a worthy candidate for the USA Presidential election, much more preferable to the Republican candidate.

But Barack Obama is far ahead of Hillary Clinton in delegates count, and for all intents and purposes Obama is as good as having been nominated. Further gains by Hillary Clinton in elections in the caucuses will not change the present trend. Therefore, Hillary Clinton’s decision to go on with the campaign until the last only shows, that she is a bad looser. That does not give her any credit for her future political carrier.

Hillary Clinton should know when to accept defeat, and if she does the American people would appreciate her the more. It is evident that the voters are getting tired of the Democratic Party’s endless campaign for the selection of a nominee. The Party should have a mechanism to stop a candidate from continuing the election campaign when it becomes apparent that one of the candidates has out spaced the others. The present situation is detrimental to the Democratic Party, as its unity is now at stake. The Republican Party is to gain if there is division in the Democratic vote bank.

In continuing her campaign undaunted despite knowing , that she would not obtain the minimum delegate count, Hillary Clinton sacrifices her allegiance to the party to realise her stubborn determination to continue to the last.

She has apparently nothing more to add to her already known credentials, as the suitable candidate to be the President of USA. She says she is more experienced than, Obama, which she cannot count upon, as experience is some thing that one is not born with, but which one gains. Barack Obama in the course of the present campaign has gained considerable credibility, and that adds to the experience he already has.

The other claim Hillary Clinton makes is that she is the most suitable Democratic candidate to defeat the Republican candidate. That claim is perhaps based on the fact that she had won more caucuses in her favour, or that she could get the votes of the larger number of white voters. But Barack Obama is a candidate of unity. During the campaign Obama has clearly demonstrated, that he is able to bind the white, and the black American Democrats to a one whole unity of American voters, which thus far no candidate either Democratic or Republican in the USA had been able to achieve.

To-day, in a world where USA is most unpopular, and being condemned for its aggressive politics, Obama would be a change. There is already a sense of hope that Barack Obama is the candidate, who if elected would be able to make the American democratic leadership meaningful, and settle opposition to America, and accept it as a nation who can bring the much needed peace to the world.


By continuing her campaign despite her evident loss to Obama, Hillary Clinton shows her greed for power rather than the desire to save America from the Republican-Bush administration and to bring back the Democratic Party into power. The prolonged campaign for nominations has caused much damage to Obama, and Hillary Clinton therefore forfeits her right for the Vice Presidential ticket under Obama.
