Most of the time we don't even get what we vote for.
I suppose we in the UK have already experienced Mr Obama in the shape of Mr Blair, who was elected on a platform of "change" and professed to be a "liberal".

For our votes we were handed War, an ever increasing differential between rich and poor, and an economy in meltdown(and don't tell me Blair and Brown didn't know what was happening to the ecomomy)

If Blair had not been elected we wouild not have lost one young man or woman in Iraq, as the opposition Labour Party would have voted against the war almost to a man.

The reason we are in Iraq was Blairs love of political expediency
and in that Blair and Obama seem joined at the hip.
Blair and Obama also seem similar in their religious beliefs so remember don't wish too much for "change" as it may bnot be the sort of change you have in mind...Ake
