As someone who is very cynical about all politicians... I can say now what I also could say in the run up to the election... Obama is the most inspirational political figure in my lifetime. Time will tell whether he up to the job, but in the first 100 days he has done very well.
I think I'd prefer him somewhat over a misanthropic Scot - however much we need a serious man for serious times (although I would admit that "this is no time for a novice" was an utterly superb soundbite)
