"This is a huge generational change in Washington. There is a new president now with a fresh mandate," Wayne Swan told ABC radio.
"Of course what the world needs now is for countries to work together.
"Barack Obama looks like someone who will bring people together. In meeting the challenge of this international financial crisis, that is sorely needed."

“Hubris” seems like such an inadequate word for whats going on with this election.
Yes, he’s so good he may just turn this whole mess into a one-world, UN controlled global economy. Such a hero.
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love.” (music in background)
Yes but can he make crap mortgages, made to people who can’t pay, whole again.
Where is the line for the free pies?
The stock market saw things differently. I’d say the market has little confidence in Hussein the Marxist.
I believe hubris involves fatal retribution. At least that’s what the Greek tragedies profess.
Let’s all join hands now and sing “Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya ...”
Wow.....good pot, down under.
Hitler had a plan to bring the Nations together, also. Under the new Hugger in Chief, we’ll end up as part of someone’s Empire.

Yeah...it is called the United Nations !!!
Why does Chamberlain’s memory keep coming back???
Well, thats different then.
Looks can be deceiving plus this statement is based on what?
“Through expanded access, greater than what he had in his briefings as a candidate or as a senator, he will see the full range of capabilities we deploy for the United States.’’
Obama’s win has been hailed around the world as the dawn of a new era with leaders calling for the global superpower to change the way it does business.”

And if the world is as stupid as the majority of Americans, they’ll believe his line of BS, welcome him into their inner circle and then, chop, chop. I just don’t know when he’ll reveal his hand. Will it be in his second term? Is he that smooth and smart?
