Ah, yes, the rest of the world is just fawning all over Messiah Obama.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

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."

Desperate for any change in US foreign policy, however minor.

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.

I don't think we'll see much of a change in the domestic policy of looting the taxpayers, either after reading this: ABC News: Emanuel Was Director Of Freddie Mac During Scandal

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?

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).
