| I spent a couple days in Amsterdam last week. A lot of folks (at the bars) were anxious to talk about the election. They were happy about the result and felt the US had turned a corner. That struck me as odd, coming from a continent that had never elected a "minority" leader. I thought to ask if there was any chance a black man could be elected Prime Minister of the Netherlands (Holland). They replied "No, but we have a lot fewer blacks..." I asked if a black man were in their "Senate" could he be elected PM, whether Holland, France, Germany, England, or wherever. The response was a reluctant "No... probably not!" So if it makes anybody feel anybody any better, ONLY IN AMERICA Jim Imagine, when I was 6 years old, 45 years ago, Obama would have had to ride in the back of the bus in Selma, Alabama. WE have come a loooong way.

The problem is that with the current economic crisis, THAT IS AFFECTING THE ENTIRE WORLD, most other countries were wanting Obama to win just because of the economics involved!
