Ok, totally random title and it’s really got nothing to do with this post, I just thought it was an obvious (albeit not very clever) play on words and I had fun making the photo (I know – I don’t get out much). I was going to try to come up with some clever way of comparing/contrasting the two individuals but I couldn’t think of anything. Although think about it – have you ever seen the two of them together…..?

I am not into politics in general and I know very little about American politics. What I do know is from asking my wife annoying questions when watching the West Wing. I know little about Barack Obama and next to nothing about his policies. But after watching this and hearing some of his speeches I’d vote for him.

His opponents claim that there’s nothing more to him than being a good speaker. Well, that’s enough for me. Ok, so that’s easy for me to say but maybe what the American people really need is to be given hope and to be inspired, more than promises of tax cuts or better healthcare or better education. A few inspired people with hope for a better future can change the world. Probably that’s naive but given the support Bush has had over the years, just think what any future American president who can string more than 3 words together could do.

Or if you don’t like that, this is another alternative!
