America is almost over with the Bush administration, and thank god that John McCain wasn't elected. Virtually the entire world now knows that Barack Obama was elected, by almost a 2-1 margin. The guy is a great speaker, and has brought hope again(literally) to America and hopefully around the world. Im sure that everyone who has an interest in this Man knows that he is half African (his dad was from Kenya) and half American (his mom hailed from Kansas), making him the first African-American elected to the most powerful position on earth. What some don't know is he was educated mostly in Hawaii, attended Punahou School, the most presigious prep school in Hawaii, (which is just down the street from the Viratas summer home in Manoa), went off to Harvard and became a lawyer fighting for the rights of the dispossessed in Chicago.
Another interesting factoid, (and probably the most important aspect of Barack) is that Obama is probably the first U.S. president who can hold his own at Sandy Beach on Oahu. Sandy's as the locals call it, is probably the most fickle, yet dangerous small wave body boarding and body surfing spot on Oahu. I hurt my back there on a 2ft day. I dropped in and my back went bendo, and it was tweaked. Obama has the skills to get tubed there, and for that he got my vote.
