Does this mean that the rest of the world will stop hating us (the USA) now?
Yes, it's a dumb question, but the Bush hatred was so prevalent that if
there were any other reasons to hate the US, they were overshadowed if not
completely forgotten.
Bush may have been the worst President in my lifetime. Nixon screwed up,
was paranoid, etc. Carter just didn't seem to know what to do. But Bush
seemed to do whatever the **** he wanted, and never bothered to explain why
to anyone, least of all the American people. World opinion could have been
swayed to some extent if he had given it a reasonable attempt, but he never
did. In the end, I'm left to believe that he really didn't care what anyone
else thought. If he was ever "right" about any of his major decisions, it
will be up to historians several decades from now.
Obama will not be pulling out of Iraq any time soon. Dates will lapse. New
reasons for staying will be given. Left-wing activists will begin to
realize that, "OMG! He's a politician!" The economy isn't going to pick up
any time soon. Lucky for him, at least, it has probably bottomed out now.
But in the meantime, he gets the benefit of being a very new fresh face that
appears to be 180 degrees from Bush.
I'm quite interested to see how things will pan out over the next few years.
New doors will open, but tough decisions will need to be made, and they may
not always be popular with the American people or the rest of the world.
But, in my opinion, he's a good enough speaker to make his decisions become
popular.
I wish him well. :-)

I was going to post a subject: "Who will run the US, Barak or Hillary?"
I can't see that relationship working well. I think Hillary will see
Barak as the 'new boy on the block', and will want to advise 'too' much.
I hope I'm wrong, and it works.
Good luck to Barak though, let's see a much better world, it's about
time.
(Btw, to me, Bush was all about money because of his own (apparent)
failings in his early oil businesses).

You might have been able to make the same comment even if you were 250 years
old. I think he may very well be the worst *ever*.

I'm optimistic. He won't cure cancer, but has a much needed cool new
vibe around him. I hope he knows where his towel is. :)

Hopefully, this isn't all just a ploy on his part to steal the infinate
improbability drive. ;-)

Too early to say, but I expect that Hillary has plans for the White
House in 2016. She'll do whatever it takes to make Obama's
administration look good - otherwise it'll hurt her chances. Likely, I
think that means doing whatever Obama tells her to.

You're not suggesting that he's an alien, and the Earth is about to be
destroyed by Vogons, and he plans to just abandon us, do you?

Sure he did. Very frequently. They were all dumbed down and very
unconvincing to intelligent people, but for quite a while they succeeded
in convincing many. They didn't re-elect him for no reason, you know.
Besides, who listens to the president any more? Pundits break it down
and are the ones to go to. How many people do you know who are more
likely to watch the president give a press conference than they are to
listen to a summary with commentary on some TV station?

I dunno. Never could get a good grip on the economy, but I strongly
suspect that it has a long way to go before it bottoms out. And that may
finally be the reason to leave Iraq. Things are pretty scary. Krugman
claimed that the job loss rate is now at half a million per month (I
didn't bother verifying). If it continues, 2009 will be far worse than
2008. Of course, if you actually listen to Krugman, his predictions are
far more dire. I hope he didn't earn that Nobel Prize.<G>
But yes, I think that they're so happy Bush is gone that he'll have
some leeway for at least a year or so to do whatever he wants.
