We can Change, Too
It’s a historical day at United States. For the first time, an african-american President is elected to govern America for the next four years. Although, some people said that there will be no significant impact in Indonesia because Obama elected, I beg to differ.
- We can learn that it’s possible for a minority to be a president for a great country like America. There’s a race issue going on during the campaign but in the end, Obama still won.
- We also learned that there’s a leader that can bring so many people from different background. Hundred of thousands that watched the speech has different educational level, race, age, and gender
- America wanted to change, and they can do it during this election. We can change, too.
So, BHO, have SBY congratulated you yet?

Banyak yang berpikir dan tersesat mengenai adanya “perbedaan” padahal Obama, terlepas hitam atau putih, adalah memang memiliki kapasitas kepribadian dan kemampuan yang unggul.
Jadi Indonesia pun sejatinya sudah dapat menerapkannya. Habibie, bukan Djawa (walaupun bukan karena dipilih rakjat). Megawati, bukan lelaki. Dan tinggal kita belajar apakah Muslim mau dan rela dipimpin dan memilih Capres yang menganut agama lain?
sepertinya susah! walaupun saya tidak masalah (dari dulu saya inginnya Kwik Kian Gie yang jadi Presiden RI)
heuw..heuw..heuw…

Actually, we can make a change too, but not enough willingness for it.
