Trump Wins

This was going to be one for the history books. A candidate who is touted to be the most unfit by the mainstream media and the elite had won the presidency of the most powerful nation in the World by a huge margin. Something which was not even on the cards 24 hours before …..

The moment I saw the cringe n the faces of the CNN - Clinton News Network - anchors, I knew something was not going according to plans. I just couldn’t wait to listen to the No Agenda podcast tomorrow for the host to dissect how embarrassed the media would be as they had put all their eggs in Hillary’s basket.

Imagine the those who had been badmouthing Trump on TV - Fareed Zakaria came to mind - would go on now. Surely the right thing to do would be to bury himself in the ground ….

But life would go on. The US First Lady would look more dynamite than our own Rosmah. Economy would tank in the first few weeks but a la Brexit it would recover once all the scaremongering was over. Lessons to be learned here that the elites had shot themselves in the foot, as they are mighty and resourceful, it would not end with Hillary’s defeat. They would fund a way to get back at Trump as this was one hell of an embarrassment …. Barack’s Presidential Pardon for Hillary anyone?

On a personal note, I would always remember how I learned about the news. I was still doing my Wednesday afternoon clinic when Trump got his 270 votes. I would never forget it.

Obama Wins

I had a busy afternoon clinic today and when I reached home, I went straight to the television. Well, I don't really have much interest in who would win the Presidential election, but I jut couldn't help but to be curious.

So, Obama was re-elected. It didn't come as much if a surprise really. But the electoral process was certainly fascinating. I got the feeling that Obama underestimated Mitt Romney and nearly paid the ultimate price. And the he sure did receive a divine intervention in the form of Superstorm Sandy.

The momentum was with Romney prior to the last stretch, but with the hiatus created by the storm put a dampener to that. And while the East Coast recovered, Obama used his Presidential aura to get ahead. Well played that man!

So, Barack Obama remained the 44th President of the United States, be it by a smaller margin. And after having run his last political campaign of his career, one hope that he could concentrate on the issues that matters, for the global good. Fingers crossed!
