    Ah, I see Obama's been good for you already - that post was only knee-jerk.

    See there's you with the emotive stuff again.

    Just accept that some people in your country are pleased that someone with similar political views to them has been elected.

    I think I can speak for the rest of the World when I say that if the choices for most powerful man in the World are Bush or Obama we'll give Obama a wee shot.

    When I say a wee shot I obviously amn't suggesting you kill another one of your leaders.

    Though there isn't a man or woman amongst them who can claim to know the slightest about what those views are, I will assure you I do accept it; that's the way elections have worked, all my life.

    Where is the caveat that says I have to like it.

    Just for the record, the sum total of his policies is:

    1. Change

    2. Hope

    3. More of the first two.

    4. Talk to, and negotiate with, anyone at all

    5. Invade Pakistan

    6: Big dose of socialism/communism

    7: Bankrupt the coal industry

    8. Big bux to fight global warming

    9: Confiscatory tax levels beginning at:

    a: 250K

    b: 200K

    c: 150K

    d: 120K

    e: 42K

    f: pick'em

    There really wasn't anything else on the menu, that I could see.

    Oh, and lest I forget-

    10: Less Bush.

    I wonder why you mentioned "Bush" rather than "McCain" as the choice to be made.

    Curious...or perhaps not.

    Ah.

    Good one.

    Boothe, Czolgosz, Guiteau, Oswald, Sirhan, and Ray - all well-known conservatives.

    EDIT-

    Just for the record, none of you has a case of Bush-fatigue exceeding my own.

    I mentioned Bush because he's the current one. Tho' I do take your point that it was kind of a mental way of looking at it.

    I think if the choices were McCain and Bush, McCain would be in by a landslide.
