I'm sitting here in the UK, thinking 'you lucky, lucky Americans.' This guy Obama really gets it doesn't he? When a course of action is obviously failing, he doesn'try to do the same thing only louder/harder/more often, he changes the whole game. It's not a proper comparison yet, Obama has a long way to go, but the last person in that sort of position to use that sort of mindset was probably Gandhi when struggling for Indian independence. I hope Americans don't do the 'modern' thing and try to tear him down with trivia. He seems to have the capability to be a truly historic President, and the longer you keep him engaged, energised and optimistic, the better things will be.
