US election fever, come and almost gone. Throughout, so many claims that it's not about race, yet afterwards, race seems to be the main thing worthy of "news". Very strange. Obama to change the world? To stop American posturing? to stop bombing of sovereign countries? to single-handedly fix the world's economy? He's a man, and a sworn subscriber to the American dream. Even a charming, intelligent man of mixed race can't work miracles.
People can hope that the symbolism will somehow become real, and maybe the dynamic optimism dominoes can really ripple out to real change....dream on, world....
