Today is the polling day for the election of president of united states of America.The incumbent president is Barack obama,the first black president in the history of America,who is contesting for the second term as president.I whole heartedly supported him during his campaign for his first term in 2008 and challenged my friends that he will win the election cent percent although they had doubts that americans having killed Martin luther king an earlier black leader,can never elect a black leader.I was damn sure about Obama because i knew that americans were disgusted with the foreign affairs of George Bush,the earlier president,specially his blunders and vindictive actions in Iraq.George bush destroyed Iraq and Saddam hussain because of personal vendetta.United nations also were not convinced by republican president George bush’s actions on Iraq,in fact the entire world was not convinced with what George bush junior was doing that time.So democrats and Barack obama seized the opportunity with the help of Clintons and defeated George bush convincingly.Initially Obama’s own party Democrat’s ally Ms Hillary Clinton posed a challenge to him but later she was convinced that Obama was the better candidate.
This time Barack obama’s main campaigners are Clintons,specially Bill Clinton two time president elect democrat whose views are not like George bush about middle east and Afganistan. Republican policies during George bush were disturbing the world peace and America being the world leader in this unipolar world after soviet disintegration,could not afford to continue them.Mitt Romney is republican party candidate who is contesting against Barack Obama and surely at a disadvantage because of his party line.Americans will never like to see those days again when George bush was the president.Barack obama also has an edge over Romney because of his efforts to help the victims of superstorm Sandy.
Therefore Barack Hussein Obama seems to be all set to become the president of United States of America second time and i wish him best of luck for that.Pollsters also are showing him having slight edge over his republican contestent.I wish politics in India also improves taking clues from american elections,since both are democratic republics,but India has to improve on many counts specially on communalism and corruption to become at par with America.
