‘Politics is about Perception’ goodline from the movie Mr President by Michael Douglas.

So how did Obama Win? is it because he was the best… was he the most learned of the lot or was it because of his race or is it even because he was representative of the american middle class. We could just on and on with the permutation of reasons why we coudl presume why he won…

‘Perception’ as said is something that gave Obama the edge, like for Franklin D Roosvelt ascended him to the American presidency. It is hard to beleive that even in our multi polar world we look up to few positions of power to guide the world! But then again… Just like everybody is to blame to everything bad there is also the theory of wanting to give credit to all the good just to one… and here is where the perception card played the most in Obama’s gain.

Name the problem and it is presumed that Obama would sort it for us. Iraq! Foreign Policy! Russia! Iran! Nuclear India! these are some of the problems it is taken for granted that Obama will sort for the civilization of our times.

But then again how much would the lobbyist allow him to implement what he has talked about is a question…. But then again all his introductory talks on these topics were solutions that were seen as a very simple logical lay man approach that made him identifiable with the common American unlike the strategic politics that the citizens have come to be used off in the past few years.
