Well I do agree Amos, as you don't seem to get much political "fresh air" in the USA, your palate must be very sensitive indeed.

But the vacuous tripe eminating from Mr Obama is yesterday's fish as far a we in the UK are concerned.

WE were informed of the new political dawn by Mr Blair over a decade ago. Unfortunately for us it was another false dawn smeared by war-mongering and sleaze.

As john says "The "truly exciting and historic moment in US/UK history" will only occur when the game itself is challenged"
