Judy, I don't know if Obama is going to make the world a better place; I really don't. As a non-American, all that I can only hope is that he doesn't sleep with any buttons under his pillow and that he pauses to finish his breakfast before making any life and death decisions. Boring. That's it. I dearly wish that Obama turns out to be really, really ponderous and boring. Tina p.s. I remain convinced that 24's David Palmer character has gone a long way to making a black president a reality. -------------------------------------------------------------- [log in to unmask] http://www.fatmandancing.co.uk http://www.myspace.com/fat_man_dancing > Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 13:07:43 -0500> From: [log in to unmask]> Subject: Barack Obama> To: [log in to unmask]> > I just listened again to the President-Elect's speech of last night in> Chicago, my son's birthplace.
