Hes not the messiah, just a very naughty boy! (There someone had to say it!)

A tad over hyped, but at least they have a sense of occasion. Us when we vote in another numpty in to No10, we vote, go to bed, wake up and its done! No ceromony or anything!

No... but I think this is down to the apparent obsession with fame in America?

I feel a great sense of relief.......

Mind you, I felt the same when Tony Blair got elected. What a disappointment that proved to be.

All the same, good look to you, Mr President.

good comparison there Mr Jabbo. after 8 years of George Dubblya its likely if they voted in Bubbles the Chimp there'd be street parties and millions turning up to watch him pour tea or carry a piano down the stairs...

that said, he's talked the talk. now its time for action. he's stopped all trials in Guantanamo as his first task...lets see him tackle the economy now please! and fast!

Best comment I have heard was from James "Darth Vader" Earl-Jones....

went something along the lines

"Im not jumping up and down about it - its as it should be."

A great comment on the whole race thing - it SHOULDN'T be special that someone of X colour skin got the job.

I watched some of it on TV. He looked very natural and no unachievable or lofty goals - but there's a mountain to climb and I for one would not want his in-tray.

Hang Man and Bananna Man - I sincerely hope that you are still right behind him in say 2 years time.

J E-J is the voice of Darth Vader and for many folks he is Darth Vader. and what a voice, too.

Can you imagine Darth Vader with Dave Prowse's (the actor in the suit - Green Cross code man) Bristolian drawl....

Dave Prowse did the dialog in the scenes, then JEJ was over-dubbed.....

Some still exsists.....
