The next president?

I don't often comment on politics but this is probably one of those moments that will affect us all. It's looking good but who knows what will happen. The one thing i do know is that Barack Obama certainly seems more composed and president like for the cameras than his opponent John McCain, from the images I've seen over the past few months.

That makes life slightly easier for the photographers following Obama, during the travelling circus that is the Presidential campaign. Will it help win an election though? Somehow i think it will and America may be about to enter a new era. A positive, more forward looking era. Sadly I can't vote but i know who would be getting my vote today if i could... the photo might give you a hint :-)

I too think that this new president is about to bring about a much needed change to the world... or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

I think that we too, in Britain want a new beginning, a new leader and a bloody big boost to our economy.

If faces can portray honesty, honour, determination and integrity, then Obama is front runner.
