Weird how it feels like that, like the he’s the Planetary President Elect, isn’t it?
I imagine it’s because the reign of George W. had such a profound effect at an international level… now it seems like Obama is taking on the world, and not just the USA.
Funny too to think that the leader of China is probably going to be just as important soon, but does anyone know who the current one is? (At the other end of the scale, hardly anyone in Spain even knows who’s in charge in Portugal!)
But we all have a vested interest in Mr Obama, and I, as you know, am glad he won (it’s always good to back a winner!)
Looking forward to see how he handles his not insignificant responsibilities. Great result.
