But I do have a lot of concerns over what is going to happen in America in the coming weeks and months.

Things I think about:

I think America won't elect a black candudate this time around. It could happen but I personally just don't see it happening. In the end I know a lot of people won't vote for him because of the color of his skin. I know this bothers me.

I'm not sure America will elect a woman candidate either. It may happen but I am not sure of it. I know I see that a lot of unexplained anger against Clinton is deeply rooted in the fact that she is a woman who has succeeded.

I wonder if there ever will be a 'people's candidate'.

I am not so sure America really can change.

I worry that people like Huckabee can still win the Iowa Republican Caucus.

It bothers me that I don't trust any politician in any party in pretty much any country any more.

It bother's me that America's reputation is shot to hell and may never recover regardless of who wins the White House.

I worry that I will get jumped on because I am not celebrating and feeling good about the way things are going.

I probably worry too much. I can't help it. I think I see things from a different perspective than people back home. From a wider view. Maybe a bit more distant. But I see things I worry about and that bother me.
