McCain concedes, Obama makes history

John Mccain concedes defeat, and major news stations are projecting an Obama victory. The senator from Arizona urged all Americans to join him in congratulating Senator Barack Obama on his projected victory in the election.

Grant Park in Chicago is expected to celebrate. Let’s just read the analysis that will be provided by the mainstream media, well these things are just an extension of the nice words they have been heaping on the future President even before the election started. The election is just a coronation, well for me at least. The senator from Illinois have long clinched the presidency.

Media has favored Obama-study

Just today, the highly opinionated Bill O’Reilly of the O’Reilly Factor says that MSNBC as the most biased station in the US right now. Now here’s another study that suggests that McCain did not receive the fair media treatment from the media. So this is the Hillary Clinton complaint all over again. The new survey was conducted by the Center for Media and Public Affairs, and the survey looked at the coverage made by ABC, CBS and NBC. For the last two months, the evening newscasts in these channels reflected positively on Obama 65 percent of the time. For McCain? The senator from Arizona got 31 percent. Of the three stations, ABC submitted the more balanced coverage.

US Senate approves $700 billion bailout

Good thing the US Senate acted responsibly and at least approved the bailout. I may not be a Wall Street player, nor someone who has a PhD in management, finance and economics but I think the bailout is one measure in the right direction, no?

The US Senators approved the edited measure 74 against 25, including yes votes from Obama, McCain and Biden.

So funny that they are arguing that this will increase deficit, or it’s not right for the state to dip its fingers on private matters. But you know, this is a major crisis of the lone superpower/economic power on earth and not an ordinary crisis. So for extra-ordinary situations plaguing an extra-ordinary country, I guess extra-ordinary measures are needed as well.

As if this will matter to a lowly third world student/freelance writer like me? Haha. But then, props up for US Senators.

Wow.McCain picks a woman

Wow. Just read the news, actually I was wating for the announcement yesterday. While doing my freelance writing gigs and my numerous online work, I was constantly checking the many news websites out there. Then when I woke up this morning I immediately dashed to my graduate class for a seminar on business strategies. And when I reached home, wrote a few more contents and checked the news.

Wow. I’m surprised to say the least by the announcement of McCain. ( If an outsider and a non-citizen of the country is surprised, what more for the Republicans and the voters in that country, no?) Or they aren’t surprised at all. Wait, I’ll check on my friends on Fox News, I wonder what O’Reilly will say. Interesting, to say the least.Wait, let me read this first and finish my online jobs ’cause time in running…

Obama’s turn in the limelight was shortlived. I like the idea of having a youthful, experienced and a woman as the VP pick. I’m beginning to warm up to the Republicans. Interesting to check next week’s convention at St. Paul.
