It’s over now, America voted for change and we can but hope the promise that it brings is realised. Will he reach out and bridge the gaps that have been created by the Bush administration, the credit crisis and more? I believe he can, especially if his acceptance speech is anything to go by.

I offer nothing more, need offer nothing more than to tip my hat at his speech writer and go to bed with the warm sense of what’s to come. 

Meanwhile in Russia they are moving short range missiles closer to Poland and talking of extending the length of term that a president can remain in office…echoes of history?

 

Watch this and feel temporarily lifted:
