That doesn't explain the degree of the reaction. Besides, Obama is as much an interventionist (interfere in the internal affairs of other countries) as the Bush regime. In fact, every President since Wilson (except for maybe Coolidge and Hoover) has been an interventionist. Obama said in one of the debates that the United States needs to exercise power in the world.
Sorry, you're not going to see very much change in American foreign policy.

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves." |

Of course we won't. Except that things will get worse because electing Chicago politicians is like electing the mob.
There are so many well-qualified black Democrats out there; why did they have to pick an inexperienced Chicago politician?

Maybe for his charisma and good looks?

So, what are you saying: that the American sheeple voted for style instead of substance?

This is what television did to the presidency. People who heard the Nixon-Kennedy debate on the radio thought Nixon won but people who saw it on television thought Kennedy won. Hence the start of style over substance.
But back on topic: it's amazing to see how the rest of the world is just fawning all over this guy. There was this one funny newspaper headline somewhere in Latin America "Negro en la Casa Blanca." Of course, we in America stopped referring to blacks as "negro" in the late 70s. (I just thought the headline was funny).
