It's been a shock and somewhat depressing to see just how much of the beautiful "change" rhetoric was just that - rhetoric.
Which brings us back to one of Glenn's eduring themes - the incompetance of the mainstream media.
It seems that not one journalist thought to ask Mr Obama "how, sir, precisely will you implement this change?"
or
"What are you going to do?"
or
"Who will you choose to help you accomplish this change?"
None the less we should remain cautiously optimistic.
The United States has just suffered a terrible eight years with an overconfident incompetent in charge. It is hard to imagine any intelligent man or women will be as bad as Bush - surely the odds are well against that!
