He is trying to help with the situation in Nigeria right now among the oil rebels- and it looks like he might be succeeding. I really think that he is the change that this country needs.

1. I think people overseas will be astonished, surprised, and delighted

to see the new face of Barack Obama, a man who thinks diplomacy is better than hurling bombs or insults to international neighbors. There are a few youtubes up, from France and Germany, that attest to that. It's going to be a whole new way of doing things, the only way that might work in our complicated world.

And might I add, GOBAMA!

2. Obama will be great

at making the nation more republican, more corporatist, more corrupt, and more theocratic.

He is not the change that this country needs.

3. I absolutely think so. A lot of people abroad are hoping for a President Obama. n/t

4. The whole world has been watching. In an unparalleled fashion.

American voters have a lot to make up for. Although all is not lost. In my observation and experience, the Europeans are more aware of our last two unclean elections than the majority of people in this country.

5. Yes, this is probably the most significant change we will see. Bush** can't visit

European countries without causing demonstrations against him. Obama will be well received everywhere.
