Barack Obama

[Darth Vodka]

I'd like to think he will make a difference, he can certainly talk the talk.... but can he walk the walk ??

everyone loved Tony Blair getting in in 1997...

Oh, and seriously, anyone who can't tell the difference politically between the current regime and Obama's stated aims is either incredibly stupid, or just on a wind up mission (Macky:icon_wink).

How very dare you! As if I'd do anything like that :icon_lol:

I didn't, but I take your point.

The thing about change is, the people who need it the most are content to let the govt do it for them and don't think they need to make any effort themselves.

Just giving people more welfare never encouraged anyone to get off the dole, quite the opposite.

The new regime dont have (afaik) ties with companies like Haliburton and close ties with the Saudis etc. I'm glad Obama got in and i think he will do far better than the last administration.
