I dont know a lot about his policies (not being American), and Im not actually sure he has many... but I have to say that just listening to his speeches, Obama is not only the most inspirational politician I've ever seen in my life time - I would say he was the only inspirational politician Ive ever known in my lifetime.
On the race issue, one of the people they had on the BBC election coverage said that the first 16 president's of America legally could have owned Barrack Obama as a piece of property. And now he's president elect. I always thought Jesse Jackson was kind of a buffoon - but seeing pictures of Jackson at some rally just standing their crying after the results came in... there must still be many people like him, who lived through a time where blacks and whites were in segragated schools in some states and so on... he could never have imagined he would have lived to see this.
