U.S. presidential election, show soft power
I watch TV all night to see President of the United States concerned about the outcome of the vote, the Indonesian workers at home could not help but tell me of Obama's support, had thought that because Obama had to follow his mother lived in Indonesia, said the workers are not the key Obama is a Muslim seems to be better. She said that Indonesia is now very difficult for people to go to the United States because "America does not like Muslims." I do not know Obama's election would not change the outside world has taken shape, the impression that Muslims hate the United States, after all, even if the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq, in Afghanistan, the war on terror will continue. But at least it can be proved that the whole election process, Obama himself is to shape the image of a successful and positive, a lot of people like to discuss. There have been several days, I would like first of all the pain: If I am a U.S. citizen, I should have voted for whom. Obama to promote the idea, although I agree, but the problem is that right when he said, is not able to do it on behalf of? Moreover, I believe that the decision to head butt this sentence in the United States to apply the same, only, 72-year-old McCain, no matter what, always feel heroic past her prime, now that he no longer belongs to the world. But today, waiting for the results, I find that they do not care that when the President of the United States who in the end, I care about is not able to create a history, and now that their time, as Obama said, the history, He is not concluded, but the conclusion of the American people. America's "Declaration of Independence," there are such a paragraph: "We think the truth is self-evident: All men are created equal, the Creator gives them a number of inalienable rights, including the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In order to protect the rights of these people before they The Government set up in the middle, and the Government's legitimate rights, is granted by the consent of the ruled. Any form of government, once these goals from destruction, the people will have the right to be replaced or abolished, in order to establish a new government . The new government is based on the principle of the organization and its rights-based approach, is the only way to ensure that the people most likely to give them the security and well-being. " Such a concept was guaranteed by the Constitution and to implement, even if, from apartheid to black slaves, racial discrimination, to this day the first African-American president of the birth of the United States two years away. The dreams of the founding of the United States in two years after becoming a reality. McCain in his speech inside this elegant descriptions of Obama's victory: "In this protracted and difficult campaign, he won the success I told him the respect and perseverance. But I appreciate even more is that he stirred up hundreds of millions of people hope that the United States. They had The mistaken belief that their own elections in the role of limited. This is a historic election, I recognize the importance of its African-Americans, tonight's honor must belong to them. I have always believed that the United States for all the hard work and is willing to seize the opportunity to provide an opportunity. Senator Obama also believe that. However, we recognize that although we have to stay away from the injustice of the past, but they can still feel the memory of the injury. These injustices have tarnished the reputation of the country, deprived of some Americans as an American citizen should be entitled to the blessings. A century ago, Theodore - President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited Booker-T-Washington to dine together at the White House, which has aroused the anger of many people. But today the United States has to stay away from the era of cruel and terrible stubborn. No more than an African-American elected President of the United States can prove a point. We all want the Americans there is no reason why they do not cherish the national identity of the treasures of the greatest country on earth national identity. " Americans are patriotic, heart-felt, that, eight years ago when I was in the United States of the shooting on Capitol Hill, Bush's swearing-in ceremony, deeply felt. Although the cold winter, raining, but on Capitol Hill before the people, singing the national anthem, on the face of piety and pride, I was surprised the spectators. Because I have the impression that the Americans should be free of the most lax, the government's concept of a group of people. The results of the elections, which the mailbox stuffed with letters from all over the world, my classmates, friends and colleagues. Do not know is whether the time difference, most of those exciting, as far away as Africa, South America, Asia still, their words alarming consistency: "Today's victory is one of the world." McCain's speech marked during the election campaign to discredit all the controversy and has come to an end, he called on his supporters to support Obama: "No matter what our differences exist, and we are all Americans. Tonight we are very disappointed to normal. But tomorrow we should get out of this mood and work together to make our country on its way. Our efforts, and we do our best Efforts, despite the lack of goals, but this is my failure, not you. " This is the kind of demeanor, but also the respect of the electoral system, because if a lack of respect, then society will only endless controversy and criticism, even among the chaos. In this connection, one could not help but sigh in Taiwan now. Obama's speech impressed me most is that so few paragraphs: "I did not win the support of the people, I may not get your vote, but I have heard your voices. I need your help. I will be your president. . . . . . . For those who undermine the people of the world, we will defeat you. For those looking for peace and security, we support you. To those who doubt whether the United States is still shining beacon, tonight we proved once again that the United States is not the real strength from the power of arms, nor is it from the amount of wealth, but from our belief that the sustained strength: democracy , Freedom, opportunity and never give up hope. ( This is true of the United States: the United States should change our society should be more perfect. We have the results to achieve greater success tomorrow we hope. " In fact, the slogan was, but very nice, very correct, and this is enough. Have to admit that the United States a strong, in addition to economic strength, as well as to the value of the global output. From Beijing to Hong Kong, the United States Chamber of Commerce official also held a mock vote, to attract not just the Americans, there are many local people, no matter who is elected president, to witness such a process, but also to experience such an atmosphere has been reached The United States the best publicity, and now, the United States with their own voters of the vote, to create such a history of the world's people, witnessed through the media, but also allow people to feel the soft power of the United States.
