It's a landmark I suppose but then, so would it be if it was a woman, chinese, japanese, dirty knees, blah.
All that is important or all that should be important is that he is the right person for the job, his colour is unimportant.

That the supreme court justice tried to throw a spanner in the works and Obama had the charm and presense of mind to come through it smiling.

Aye we did and wrongly or rightly according to some, she was the right person for the job at that moment in time.
I'm not worried what he looks like either, all that concerns me is that he is in charge of the most powerful country on earth and I hope he is up to the job.
I hope so for all our sakes.

I wouldn't worry so much, pretty bad job so far from most world leaders. First impressions, he feels a bit more real but that could all be an act.
The only positive comment I can give about Obama right now is that he's LUSH

It's definitely an act, "He's not the Messiah, He's a very naughty boy". I had an aunty that was a lush, sherry was her vice.

What can I say - but give a deep sigh of despair?

I enjoyed the Obama Show on telly. Then I watched the programme on BBC2 about his past life. He seems very committed to trying to make things better for everyone. There was no one else running I'd have wanted for president. Best of luck to him.

**sweetpea** · 21-Jan-09, 00:48

I didn't have time to watch it, too busy working but got the highlights on every station after work.
I'll stand by my word - if he makes a difference then well done but I'll wait and see.

**trix** · 21-Jan-09, 01:16

For all those who did not see it here is a link to the bit you are moaning on about :-

If you did not wish to witness this event you could have changed over to BBC2 and watched "Celebrity Cash in the Attic" you might have found that more interesting.

Calling a black man "coloured" is racist, Kodiak.

You, too. You're both disgusting.

I'm gonna miss Geordie Bush he was kinda cool in a redneck/marry your cousin kinda way

. He always came across as literate as the guy on Simpsons with all the kids!!!!.
Barrack certainly has alot to rise up to as the worlds media have hailed him as nothing short of the "new messiah".
He certainly talks a good game i just hope he isnt writing cheques his butt cant cash.
