If only we had an Obama to vote for to replace Brown, all we've got is David Cameron, great
Obama isn't going to be able to "fix the economy" for example, it's going to be a long slog, I think Oboma has indicated as much.
Problem with the UK people is we love to hate and defeat ourselves before we start.
In the US you had no holds barred support for people that support him to the extent they build up someone like Obama and put him on a pedestal, to the point of ignoring all real or imagined faults.
In the UK you will have every single news paper and media outlet ripping apart all of our candidates/parties so that we hate all of them. We love to expect and predict disappointment and we don't disappoint ourselves.
