President Obama - America exorcises its ghost

Watching the US TV stations desperately paddling about to fill time until they have enough results in to 'call it.' I'll call it - President Obama.
But is that a good thing?
Racial barriers blasted away = good
Neo-con crazies and Bush and Co given a resounding kick = good
Media propaganda = bad, boding particularly ill for the future.
Big government obsessives in the ascendancy = bad

A black President is progress, no question. But now race is off the table once and for all, because President Obama is going to prove that the colour of your skin makes no difference. You can be a good President or a lame President, irrelevant of the colour of your skin. And once people realise that, President Obama had better watch out, because the same people that promoted him, will then be after him.

Real change - such an overused word now - will only come from the empowerment of women and the distribution of power between the sexes, equally. But i don;t think it'll be President Palin either in 2012. The media have gone to town on her and i doubt she'll ever recover.

Next please...
