All day long, listeners are calling in to local radio stations to talk about the victory of Barack Obama. Needless to say, nearly every resident of paradise has been for Barack Obama, and everyone is excited about the U.S. presidential election outcome, as people in other parts of the world are. For some reason, however, I don't see CNN or ABC or New York Times reporting a scene of people celebrating this moment from the Caribbean! So here we go, I am posting the article by my favourite roving reporter Robert Lalah, who reports on how two residents of paradise spent the historic U.S. presidential election night, and what they expect from "Arack".
