the news channel proclaim a new messiah to save the world from financial doom, the man in question plays his part to the hilt. the speech attempts rousing crescendos and sound-bites that have repeat value and ends up as rhetoric heard many times before. to use a tacky metaphor, the flame of my cynicism fanned by the hot words of too much chomsky :) makes me raise an eyebrow and wonder whether the grand hope being proclaimed merely because the man is black? or is the change going to be more substantial?

The man has his heart in the right place.
For foreign policy matters, he does have to take the interests of the country in consideration. About turns cannot happen in 4 years. Not possible and unwise and dangerous. To expect so much is unfair.
As a landmark civil rights moment I cannot be happier than a man with his qualities broke that unspoken barrier.
