Je n 'ai jamais regarde la couleur de sa peau (I 'm color blind LOL), d 'ailleurs pendant tous ces mois de duel avec Hillary, je le trouvais "cocky", un brin arrogant et suffisant et je pensais simplement que ce n 'etait pas son tour a lui. Aujourd 'hui avec cette victoire je me rends compte a quel point le pays avait soif de changement et puis surtout la dimension historique. La vague Obama c 'est avant tout la rencontre du peuple americain dans sa diversite avec un homme exceptionnel et "inspirational".
