    Obama is doing the right thing

    The Obama administration is being built on consensus and

    a collection of bright brains - it is a wonderful show.

    If one is allowed to mention it, in Europe as well the tendency for Presidents such as centre-conservativet Sarkozy in France is to compose a government in picking the best and the brighest also from the opposition party, the socialists.

    This made the socialist party furious but those picked such as Foreign minister Bernard Kouchner has quickly become one of the most popular members of Sarkozy´s team while assuring that he is still a socialist at heart. In reality however he is a Sarkozy boy.

    Some change and for the better.
