The Big O and his O -ve Stance

摘要

Barack Obama is young, intelligent, and has consistently played up his image of being "the outsider", who is out to bring about "change" in America. As the favorite to win the presidential election this year, Obama's words about his intended policy measures are taken more seriously than, say, what the 2004 democratic candidate John Kerry was saying. Kerry was just another politician, maybe considered a little better among equals by his party at that point of time. Obama is a symbol by himself-arguably with a lot more appeal than his party. No one has raised the hopes of Americans the way he has, since JFK.
