We were watching the Democratic Convention on YouTube this year. This is not something Taiwanese TV is very interested in. All the speeches were magnificent: Michelle Obama, Ted Kennedy, Al Gore, the Clintons! How very wise of the Clintons, btw, to swallow their pride and give a whole-hearted endorsement of the winner. And then of course there was Obama himself. What to say? It was surely one of the best political speeches I’ve ever heard. He delivered both eloquent uplift and plenty of bread and butter.

I’ve occasionally been known to make jokes that can be construed as anti-American. I figure being married to an American and having four American children provide me with a license. And there is no doubt that there is a lot of American mismanagement to make fun of — the housing crisis, health care, education, inequality (and don’t get me started on foreign policy).

What is also true, however, is that America has great people. Great, great, people. And somehow or another, when times are rough, there always seems to be a great American ready to step up to the challenge. Today that man is Barack Obama. He is the man of the moment in exactly the same way as Roosevelt in the 1930s. I honestly believe he will sort out a lot of America’s problems. And I know the world will finally have an American leader we all can look up to.

e Democrats.  Yesterday her 17 year-old, unwed, daughter turned out to be five months pregnant.  Suddenly the Christian Rights decided that “It’s OK, it shows how much the Palins value children.”  Next week, no doubt, Palin’s son will turn out to be gay.  “That’s OK,” the Christian Right will say, “we are all equally loved by God.”  A few days before the presidential election those porn photos of Sarah will finally emerge.  “That’s OK,” the Christian Right will insist.  “Pornography is a great morale booster for our troops in Iraq.  We are so proud to have a Vice-President who can provide it.”

In this way, little by little, the hypocrisy of the Republicans will be revealed.  Eventually they will be forced to retreat from their social conservative agenda.  Before long Republican voters will realize that the Democrats were right all along and  Obama will win the election in a landslide.  All Americans will join hands with each other and with the rest of the world.  Peace and happiness will finally be brought to our fractured  planet. Thank you Sarah!
