I think Sir Alex Ferguson (manager of Manchester United Football Club) said it best, "we live in an era of overreaction". In my opinion the whole world overreacted when Barack Obama won the 2008 U.S Presidential election...President-elect Obama has yet be inaugurated and will only enter the Oval Office on 20th January 2008 and yet it seems the whole worlds' hopes,dreams and future is rested on his shoulder... He is like the new "messiah" and the savior of mankind...
The fact remains that now is not the best time to become the President of the United States of America... As we all know currently the yanks are facing one of their worst financial crisis in history... Furthermore Obama is also facing pressing issues such as the "war on terror" , U.S foreign policy , Guantanamo Bay and so on...
I'm not the kind of man who believe in "first impressions"...I think I'll wait for Obama's foreign policy before jumping on the Obama-Mania fad.

very true...I think becoz people all over the world wanted so badly to move away from the Bush Doctrin that they are very hopefull when Obama won. Ape2hal pn US politician sume same je, tak leh percaye 100% :) kalau Ralph Nader menang cmne? Kesian aku tgk Nader kene ridiculate by the media especially by FOX News.
biaslah tu..sape yg control media kat u.s...corporate america... nader nye policy sume akan mengurangkan keuntungan derang...tu yg derang tak suka...kalau obama bleh jalankan 1/3 dari polisi nader aku kira dah cukup bagus...until now,ralph nader is the only u.s presidential candidate that i truly support...
