Actually, we weren't. There are comments of this kind (at least 7 on this thread) every time there's a report from the other side of the Atlantic that the British are unhappy with something the current regime has done or said. But the impression that Obama's election was greeted with unalloyed joy by this entire nation is very wide of the mark, I can assure you. Those who had, to put it at its mildest, doubts, may not have been as loud as the Obama fans and did not, on the whole, have the ear of the media - but there were (and are) plenty of them.
From where I sit it looks like the vast majority of rural people around the globe tend to be conservative.
Glad to hear this. I guess your media is like ours. They have an agenda and they ignore the majority. We hear that from Canadians all the time, too. That its not the people, its the media and government that hates us.
I respectfully disagree. I know some were skeptical but others were giddy.
I’m glad to hear that winniesboy. All I know is the ones with loudspeakers (or ability to write headlines) were rejoicing at Obama. It makes me feel much better to know that all of the UK hasn’t lost it’s mind to political correctness.
