In a time of desillusion and neo-conservative policies, Obama's election appears as a fresh breeze. At the same time, we must realize that Obama's election means a shift from right to centre-right politics. It's not a big revolution. At least may we feel significant rhetorical changes and better concerns in social affairs. It is certain that Obama embodies hope for better justice, equity, and integrity, but please, stay realistic: too much hope also means big disappointment. It's the US after all.

Objet : Re: 'Obama-Syndrome'
No doubt, we all hope this. However, having been born in the USA backyard, I am afraid I should know that Obama is only the Head of Government. State policies are different (both parties normally agree). Hence, I do not think the USA will change because the guy is a good guy. Besides, the USA normally assasinates those that dear to contradict their elits. Best, Andy

Subject: 'Obama-Syndrome'
Do you all think that 'Obama-Syndrome' needs to spread from the USA to UK and across the global world? 'Obama-Syndome' is defined by behavioural traits where one actually shows selfless compassion, care and love for other humans and this is very viral and can easily spread to other places...
This is one syndrome that humanity needs at the moment and I do hope it spreads to the UK pretty soon.
Take-Care
