on election night i was at the u.s. embassy in vienna, a colleague from “die presse” had gotten us in and in some way or another we were there when history was made and obama won. being here in new york right now, it feels people are basically asking the second coming of him, i have seen t-shirts, posters and the bakery around the corner is selling his books. funny enough it feels like in the hard times to come people made a desperate but nevertheless finally right choice and while he’s not my president or for that matter in any short-term affecting my life i truly believe in what he say: yes we can – we the people, mankind.
i believe.
