Obama Doppelgangers on the Loose!

Who would believe that US President Barack Obama has a doppelganger (look-alike)? Actually, not just one doppelganger, but two!

Ilham Anas, a photographer from Indonesia, and Gerardo Puisseaux, a Cuban-American PR rep, are two of the latest Obama look-alikes who are cashing in on the “Obamania” craze. Gifted with the external physical attributes (at least in facial form) of the new U.S. President, Ilham and Gerardo are thanking their lucky stars for the chance to impersonate their idol.

Mar Roxas 2010 Blogger attends US Election Watch 2008 in Cebu City

The Cebu Bloggers Society (CBS), which I co-founded, joined the US Election Watch 2008, organized by the US Embassy in the Philippines, in SM City Cebu’s Northwing yesterday. Before I went to the event venue, I was already monitoring the US election results on CNN as early as 7AM and by past 8AM, CNN already projected that Kentucky went to (John) McCain’s column while Vermont was for (Barack) Obama’s.

After that projection, I hurriedly went out of the house and rode a jeepney to the event venue. When I arrived 30 minutes later, I registered (as group of the media) and got supporter pins with some election materials. I asked some people in the venue if any state was already called for any of the candidate after the Kentucky and Vermont in case I missed it, and luckily, none yet. I was glued to the large TV projector of CNN and I watched as the results came in. Then, I also accomodated my colleagues in the CBS.

Barack Obama vs John McCain U.S. Election 2008 Results

It’s official! Barack Obama is the 44th US President.
He can now be more properly called as His Excellency, President Barack Obama!

I’ve followed Obama’s journey from his narrow victory over fellow Democrat heavy contender Hillary Clinton back when he was still being criticized of his eligibility to rule the United States. It was that event that I become alarmed, and so really supported Obama * although who cares if an amateur blogger like me will support him, it doesn’t affect the polls anyway, right? So silly of me, I know* in my own little way by featuring him to my post Racial Discrimination before, which has contributed a generous amount of traffic to my blog.

Anyways, I wouldn’t bore you why I support the Democrat party for Presidency, but I vote for Sarah Palin as Vice President, but that’s another story to tell.

So, here’s the final tally of votes of one of the most intriguing and controversial presidential election in U.S. election history:

1. Barack Obama : 61,641,993 votes
2. John McCain : 54,865,190 votes

Countdown to the Presidency of the Good Ol’ US of A

I used to reserve countdowns to occasions that mean a lot of eating and pigging out, but the US Presidential Elections is such an important event that it deserves its own hallowed place in my countdown list. I don’t give a damn about the global financial crisis because all my bank accounts add up to a grand total of 39.27 Philippine Pesos. Oh, I forgot to mention that I have only one bank account.

The Lehman Brothers, Freddie Mac, Freddie Mae and all those odd-sounding financial institutions may collapse like a deck of cards, yet I will be the least affected by this scenario. What is more relevant than the panicking traders in Wall Street is the US Presidential Elections on November 8, 2008. Two presidential candidates going by the names of Barack Obama and John McCain (in no particular order) as well as a slew of meaningless, obscure nuisances (is Ralph Nader in the mix?) vie for the much maligned position of American President in a world that has become more and more anti-American by the minute.

Yeah, good old Dubya will have to bid farewell early next year. Good riddance, Mr. Bush. We hope that your decision to send troops to Godforsaken places like Iraq and Afghanistan will bode well for America’s future and result in Osama Bin Laden’s foot soldiers getting a good a-whipping. We hope that your recent $700 billion bailout plan will help the world economy back on its shaky feet. You deserve a pat on the back for your earnest efforts. Only history will judge your performance as US President, but for the meantime, let’s place judgment on the two major presidential candidates who are looking for a 4-year lease on White House.
