That is very amusing to me, considering our news over here would much rather relate to us what ridiculous thing Britney Spears is up to that report much of anything on other nations. Perhaps the UK press is interested because so many nations/people hate Bush and are rooting for a change. ANY change. Obama seems to have some good views. Overall, he appears to stand for Truth, Justice, and the American Way... however, he is an American politician, and we know they are ALL blowing smoke out their asses. If he truly means what he says, I think he could do well, but deep down inside I just don't know. I can't stand Hillary or McCain, so he's about all I have to root for at the moment. Most people seem to be afraid of the fact that he's black. Not so much for racist reasons, but because they are afraid he will be assassinated. I think that is also a load of horse-shit, just another excuse. (What is funny is the plotline you described from the King novel is exactly what I first began expressing as my fears regarding Obama as soon as he began running!)
