A friend of mine, Sava Geetha on her blog http://sevensava.wordpress.com/2009/04/09/abstain/ wrote about her choice, and stressing her human rights NOT to vote or being abstain, as she finds no ‘caleg‘ or representative people that is good enough to lead this country into a better direction. Geetha thinks all politicians are just dirty, money oriented, thus they fail to gain her trust. She also stated this again on her Facebook status and another Indonesian blog at http://savageetha.blogdetik.com/2009/04/04/pemilu-4-hari-lagi-so-what-2/ that got most comments from Indonesian readers, and some dropped the harsh ones, specially from those who are PRO-VOTING, and I can not ignore not to quote them here :

- “From over thousands of candidates, aren’t there just one that fits ‘your criteria’ ?”,
- “There ain’t a perfect 10, for sure, but definitely there’s 7,can’t you choose just one of them?”,
- “It is sad to see how stupid ignorant and shallow thinker you are, and there are lots of you in this country, and they feel so proud of themselves.Do you even pay taxes ?”,
- “People died for this country, and all you can do is abstain?”

Although I was dying to vote this year and would not miss it for the world,and I have to agree with those ruthless comments on Geetha’s blog, still they need to respect other’s people choice. I believe Geetha has another smart way to contribute to her loving country.

I personally want to be part of the CHANGE! And will make sure my name is on the list for he ‘Pilpres’ or Presidential Election on 9 July 2009. I’d say to Geetha this time : VOTE FOR YOUR LIFE, SAVA GEETHA! Cheers!

So many people want to be part of history, and that explains the crowds surrounding White House, Capitol Building and National Mall where all the ‘celebration‘ begin.

Yes, I agree that it is the largest viewers of political event, young and old, black or white, asians, latinos, men and women, celebrities, politicians, they all want to see Obama sweared as the President of USA.

People are so excited with this event they thought they would never see in their life time, having a black president for the first time.

I heard Rev.Rick Warren will do inauguration invocation. My Pastor Timothius Arifin mentionned this to us couple weeks ago. It is a big honour & blessing too.

What is beautiful is to watch Obama & his wife started their day with a prayer, praise, and contemplation at a morning service at St John’s Church, located just across the White House.

From my view, I see one thing significant from this event : Nothing is impossible.
GBU, Obama!!!..
