Yay! Now I can vote. For the obvious.

You guys might have heard of the 30-minute TV spot the Obama campaign bought. If you're interested, watch it here:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GtREqAmLsoA&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GtREqAmLsoA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
The video made me cry a lot because it touched me closer to home than I'd like. It also sets the record straight on the lies that the other side has been slinging as of late. It should be illegal to lie over something that's written down in black and white on campaign platform materials, like the lowering of taxes for households that earn less than $200k per annum.
I really think that in every democracy, voters owe it to their country to properly read the entire platform of all major presidential candidates before making their choice. It's sad that Obama isn't leading the polls by a landslide, and it's doubly sad that it's probably because he's black, and also because FOX is still pretending to be a news channel.

Enter the next great American president since, well, JFK. Bill Clinton could've been but he messed things up with the intern scandal.
I feel hopeful for America. At the same time I hope that her new leader inspires other world leaders to be as fair-minded and reasonable as him.

I cried when I watched this specific one. It's just beyond inspirational. Be sure to watch the entire video and hear the man speak.

Enter: The first half-pinoy president. xD
I envy their voting system, wish we had the same. Surely though, hackers would be an issue xD

Check this out. It's a real-time updating word cloud of people's feelings on the recent elections. You can choose between everyone, or supporters of either camp. Accuracy aside, it's really cool.
