Besides ....faith and colour shouldnt matter in whom leads a country. The best man won and as a father of young children , im very happy to have a man with such insight and inspiration to lead the world to hopefully a better situation ...

He looks like a good man that's not afraid to put his ideas forward. He also gives me the impression that he will do a lot of good things for his country and the world in general. I think I read somewhere that he is NASA friendly as well.

History will be the judge.

Not wrong there - in fact I would rather our leaders be smart highly educated athiests to a man and woman.

The guys's been in congress for three years and he's suddenly the leader of the free world. We're kidding, right?

Great.

Not on. Change for changes' sake? I seem to remember McCain barracking for the anti-sub prime camp, not Obama. Yet, Obama is taking credit for the "fix". We don't know this guy from a bar of soap. He's now in charge of us all.

Sounds familiar.... wake up people! It's great to see that those who wanted to vote for him can "congradulate" the man.,.. - and actually be able to spell.

It will clearly be a great improvement to have a US leader who's IQ exceeds his shoe size!

I guess we'll see now. It's brilliant that his IQ is 14. I feel safer now.

Well said Ric - save the backlash when there's enough material for a backlash eh!?

I'm starting to think there's no Illuminati after all.

Good point. LOL!!

Nah - Sorry all, I was a tad tipsy last night when I posted. A bad time to do that. My only problem with "turf everything out" elections is that we then tend to try and justify the choice on the notion that he "can't be any worse" to ourselves, and somehow feel better for it.

President if the USA is a huge responsibility - is Obama really ready to lead it? He has a great manner on stage and can talk the talk that script writers have given him - but so can any actor. I'm not confident for one minute that he meant anything he said - he's a politician. The USA just told us that he is a "breath of fresh air" and voted him in, and I guess we'll all have to see what that means in time. At the end of the day, I hope that the US voters haven't made a mistake on behalf of the rest of us. Hating Bush is one thing - but simply endorsing his nemesis because he is the only alternate choce is probably naive.

You mean *another mistake* ?

Being not a republican and pledging policy to ease the US out of Iraq and Afghanistan was probably enough to get Obahma over the line. USA's war mongering and general aggression has meant a loss of respect on the world stage and they are looking to correct that. Voting out the republicans was just the start.

It's not so much naive as the only option. It is a real problem that the political system throughout the 'democratic' world consists of giving the voters a choice between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dummer - both of them backed by big money. Sure, Rudd's done some good things and he better than the alternative, but is he really that different? I'd like a genuine alternative, please.

PS Oh dear Chris ... "choce" ... a spelling misturk

What is it that you fear about Obama? Even old school wealthy republicans recognise that the Bush administration has been ruinous for the country.

Nothing in particular - apart from not really knowing anything about the bloke.... like everyone else.

LOL! There's a difference between being unable to spell and a typo.
