Look, I really have to say that I can not understand all the fuss and obcession over all things Obama.You see he has been done before, sorry America but I hate to break this to you but the new messia and his "new way" of doing things is all old hat.
Some 11 years( plus) in fact, and it was one Anthony Charles Linton Blair who was our Obama.
He talked of a better way, a new way, a middle way - as per Obama.
He smiled like some grinning buffoon - as per Obama.
He toured his ass off from one end of the UK and abroad - as per Obama.
He fired off soundbites with no real meaning, lots of uses of words like "equality", "liberty", "friendship", "alliances" - as per Obama.
Then he got elected and things here in the UK turned to shit.
There are now over 1000+ ways that the state is allowed to enter a home here in the UK, some 400+ of these have happened since Blair & New Labour came in.
The state expanded into every area of peoples lives, dependency on the state has rocketed, self reliance has declined, record numbers now work for the state administering this huge uber-state.
Taxes both direct and indirect have spiraled ever upwards.
Health & safety and political correctness have been used to curtail activities, oppress freedoms and stifle free speech.
Spot fines and amendments to our laws have created a system where more and more we the citizens have to prove our innocence rather than it being assumed that we are innocent.
Government money is used by unelected quango's to fund pet projects.
Aid money is poured into the hands of dictators in Africa and Asia via the government/Eu with little accountability to taxpayers here who fund it.
Billions wasted on global warming.
Think Obama is brilliant, well my US friends I shall tell you this: All of the above will come to your shores, at a time when we need to compete with the tiger economies and India we are tying us businesses hands with ever more taxes and red tape.The same will happen in the US if he is elected.
The old term for Obama was a communist, a pinko, a red under the bed, in fact a "useful idiot" as a certain Soviet leader called people like Obama.
Now our Obama, one Mr Blair having screwed the nation went off on a farewell tour, yep us taxpayers paid for it all! Now he works for a bank having foisted the dire Gordon Brown on us as PM.
Now we Brits and you Americans have had our differences in the past, we did burn down the White House but we both valued freedom in our ways. Now sadly we have almost none and I see America going to head the same way as us...

Reminds me of a half caste Blair circa 1996. All things to everyone, glib to the point of nausia. Seems the Yanks are gonna have to learn the hard way.
He just needs to keep grinning :-)
You're being a bit unfair on Tony! He and Cherie did try to prevent auld one eye getting to be PM, but alas no other Labour politician was up to the job of raising a challenge!
