Yay Obama but let’s not kid ourselves just yet.

So order is restored to the world, we can sleep safely again, Bush is nearly gone out of the White house and it’s no longer cool to hate America. I can still hear the rejoicing screams coming across the choppy Atlantic now praising our new saviour a certain Mr Barak Obama. It's the turn up for the books, what was 8 years of horrible Republican rule in the US has been silenced by the success of a black Democrat in the Presidential race. I'm sure i'll wake up any day now. Black? PRESIDENT??!?! Oh America you bastion of progression you, I knew you were hiding there somewhere. But doesn't it all seem a little fishy to you? Yes there's been death threats/attempts and the race was [mostly] quite tight but I still get the impression that someone's having us on. What happened to all the Southern voters of the 'redneck' variety who'd as soon want to see a black president of their nation as they would see contact sports banned. Also what happened to the massive evangelical voters who generally vote staunchly republican? And what about the republican candidate, John McCain, who was disliked by a vast amount of republican politicians and had some rather strange policies for that of a right-leaning republican. And if McCain wasn't baffling enough as a presidential selection then what in the name of God we're we to make of that Sarah Palin issue. I simply can't believe that republican campaign officials would be stupid enough to allow Palin to be nominated as Vice Presidential candidate, I simply can't believe it, and if it was an honest mistake, which we'll never know, it must go down as the blunder of the century. Doesn't it seem like they just 'dropped' the campaign? Or it's as though they we're told to lose the fight, because sometimes losing is winning. But why I hear you ask? Why the hell not, I'd want out if was there too.
