Barack Obama

with 3 comments

This man is inspiring.

You can nitpicks his decisions. It’s the easiest thing to do when you are sitting in front of a computer. But this is politics. It’s not a dream land. You can’t turn a dirty house clean without getting dirty yourself sometimes. You can’t survive playing things by the book all the time. He may not be perfect. Nobody is. Yet people sit in their armchairs criticizing, while Obama is out there trying to make a difference, to change the sorry state of the United States for the better. It’s sad that this race is even close.

Barack Obama instills confidence. He is calm, analytical, thoughtful, intelligent, down-to-earth. Contrast this with the attacks, lies, contempt, fear mongering from McCain/Palin.

Obama/Biden 2008.

Bangkok traffic

Traffic in this city is ridiculous. Just spent 3 hours this evening to get home. What the hell.

When a person has to spend that much time just get from point A to point B in the same city, that city offers a damn low quality of life. Just horrendous.
