Hi,… Basten! Never try to beat me and my troops, OK.
In the race of The US presidential nomination of the Democratic party, Barack Obama, is unbeatable. His rival, Hillary R. Clinton, finally had to confess that her contender is leading the race and thus to represent the party for the US president candidate on November 4. Obama’s winning is then cheerfully welcome by public all around the world. Everybody feels happy with such a phenomenon realizing that during the Bush’s administration, the world order is under threat and full of terror. The hatred Bush spreads all over the world ignites those who so far have lived under the US hegemony and interference to awaken and defend themselves by attacking the US and its aligns’ properties and facilities. Since then, such a self-defense is called terrorism.

The phenomenon of Barack Obama has created “Obama euphoria” all around the world. The euphoria is not only to show people’s excitement finding out that Obama has come out as the president candidate but also to expect a different world, the world that is full of smile, hospitality, collaboration, equality, peace and harmony. The world’s desire is real and can not be neglected. Otherwise, the world will again curse the USA.

The mass hysteria over the Obama phenomenon is not sufficient to make Obama become a president. The first circle around Obama: the mentor, the campaign manager, or the campaign setter play crucial role to make the dream come true. What has happened to Netherlands soccer team in EURO 2008 can be a very good lesson for it. The team which everybody adores and nominates to be the champion of UEFA EURO 2008 is in reality beaten by Russia, the underdog team, by 3 – 1.

The Netherlands team which from the beginning of EURO 2008 had shown their amazing performance with spectacular sores without ever once lost to any team must admit that Russian kids are their conqueror. As a matter of fact, the two teams are coached by Marco Van Basten and Guss Hiddink from the same citizenship. What makes them different are their age, experience and maturity. Van Basten is young while Hiddink is old and the two men are the good analogy for Barack Obama and John McCain.

Marco Van Basten who has amazed the soccer mania all over the world by showing his tactic and strategy of total football finally must bend his knee before Guss Hiddink, a veteran coach. Again, age, experience and maturity or mental seem to matter in such a case. Barack Obama must then analyze and learn from the phenomenon and the figure of Guss Hiddink to find out a good tactic and strategy to beat John McCain on November 4.

Once again, age, mental and experience John McCain has can be an ace for him to up-side down all the excitement and euphoria over Obama’s close winning to presidency to be a misery. So, mind over matter. May God bless you.
