In social terms a very historic day. If it leads to the policy changes that are needed remains to be seen. Even with the best policies, political will and interlect in the world there will still be very powerful forces resisting change and acting against Obama. I hope Obama lives up to and exceeds the hype. Good luck America, or, as the locals would say, God bless America  ;D.

Been thinking something similar jimson. Thing on the telly last night made a joke about how all of the previous American presidents were old white blokes - except JFK who was a young white bloke.
And we know what happened to him...

Listening to the radio this arvo, I think that one reason the Yanks are so happy with Obama is because he promises change: Bush's path was clearly a very bad one and at least they've now got someone trying to steer the ship away from the rocks.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

For the last 20 years security has been exceptional around any American President or President Elect. I don't think anything will be different or harder.

If the FBI, or whoever, have kept Bush safe from the Talaban, Bin Laden etc., I think they have a fair chance of keeping Obama safe.

Pray that they do. I would hate to think of the consequences and the conspiracy theories that would result ::).
