Only time will tell...

When Tony Blair was elected here in 1997 it was to the same fanfare of change that is being heralded in America today.

After ten years of spin and sleaze we have been brought to our knees,and in dire need of change.

If Obama has the policies, and resolve to carry them through like Mrs.Thatcher, then America will flourish.



Hi Alan,good to hear from you. 8) I wo'nt say no more,as last time it caused eruptions. :shock: :lol:

A disaster. Once the smoke and mirrors clear, we'll see the sham for what it is. Don't get me wrong, McCain is almost as bad, but this country (USA) will regret this. Maybe Obama will now let us know what his policies are.[/quote]

Lucky you bein Sweltered, think o your auld mates here bein frozen.

Like all politicians, running for any office,their is always smoke and mirrors, they talk a good shop to get the votes, but as we know and every other person in a free democracy knows, the "talking pish" will stop, and real decisions will have to be made. This will result in disilusionment for many of the supporters, and guess what :?: we're back to where we started.

Who's the next president/Prime minister?????



Keep on swelterin :wink:

you lucky guy

I just worry he's got too much to live up to. Nevertheless, I think he's changed the perception of America here and all over the world. We can't expect change too soon but this is a start and that's all that's needed. Someone on the telly tonight quoted something I thought was great about the struggle in America that has led to this:

'Rosa sat so that Martin could walk.
Martin walked so that Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children could fly.'

America needed a change for the better and I think Obama is the man to do it. I also admire McCain but in many ways was too similar to Bush and look at the job he has done.
