It has irked me for a long time that although the President of the United States wields great power over the rest of the world, only US citizens get to vote. To be brutally honest it irked me a lot more when Bush II was in power, but I approve of the way our USAian cousins have voted this time. Obama seems exactly what the US and the rest of the world needs – someone thoughtful, honest and willing surround himself with actual experts instead of cronies. That fact that he can string two words together without stumbling is an added bonus.
And its not just me. The action figure industry thinks Obama is pretty cool. This Obama figure is way more bad-ass than the old George W Bush doll.

A President that orders Guantánamo shuttered on his second? day of office would certainly get my vote.
i would like them to close guantanamo bay and open a new one in NZ… that would be awesome.
anyway as someone here in the USA i can assure you that we have met the new boss and he is the same as the old boss.
one day you will all get to vote on the world leader, it wont matter much, but you will get to “vote”.
