it was nice having an actual human for president for a while: too good to last, tho... google has messed up the commenting in this country... even blog owners can't comment on their own blogs... i guess it's apply to other countries, tho... it's probably a Republican plot to make yet more money on the backs of the suffering poor...
I loved Obama in 2005, was happy to hear he'd won election as junior senator in 2006, and..couldn't bring myself to vote for him in 2008. I disagreed with him a lot on policies, but he was INCONTESTABLY one of the most charismatic men to ever hold the office. He managed to get elected with that name in the middle of the War on Terror. Yes, he could be a pompous elitist, but if you listened to his speeches you could quiet that little voice of despairing cynicism for a little bit. I think he's a good man who doesn't know as much as he thinks he does. A good man, nonetheless. It was his failures in the White House that made me go easy on Bush, because I realized there has to be something in the office itself, in the system, that makes candidates go bad.

Can't really comment on his as President (not living there) but as a human being he seems to be a good one. He's a GREAT public speaker.
