Well, if I thought Obama-mania in the UK was a bit much before, it's now gone through the roof.
The BBC News website actually has a devoted "Obama Presidency" section. Isn't that insane? Expectations are rather high evidently. Hopefully those particularly liberal individuals out there won't be too annoyed when President Obama starts making decisions from the center.
Which is the smart way about going about it in my opinion. The U.S. is essentially a country divided in half between their two parties and if you want change, it has to be relatively slowly.
Sure, having control of both houses of Congress and the White House, you could probably push through your own agenda, but you'll alienate many. Then, when ousted from power, change can be rolled back.
The center is the way to go. Or maybe slightly to the left...
