Obviously hes not perfect, but to say he'll change nothing is pessimistic. I think in terms of foreign policy he may not, which is why it seems to people like us from UK that he'll be the same, but im sure in home policy he may improve a lot. Plus its just great for America to have a black president - i know its been said to death but its true. Consider the fact that 50 years ago black people couldn't even sit in the same place on a bus. Obamas presidency is a powerful, positive statement even if not much actually changes.And Billy Bragg is a legend by the way.
