(the charisma and eloquence, not the mafia ties and adultery...lol) lets just hope he can keep to his policies Edited by hobbes, Nov 5 2008, 11:18 PM.

I can't say I'm surprised. When I was in New York in September you couldn't move for Obama images on TV, banners, tshirts, bags, bumper stickers... I think the man has brought a great sense of optimism for the future. Both for the US and anyone directly effected by their political actions (ie everyone). After so long under an unpopular and unsuccessful administration it's a breath of fresh air. I actually feel quite sorry for Obama and his family though. They'll no longer be able to live anything resembling a normal life and will still be a target even when he eventually leaves office. Is it worth it for progress? Well, the fact that he is willing risk so much shows what a great man he has the potential to be. History is made by such men. Now if they could just fix the world economy...
