I've just been watching Barack Obama's Berlin speech on BBC News. The guy is most definitely an accomplished speaker - but will he walk the walk as well as talking the talk?
Ultimately I suppose it doesn't really matter. It's a choice of two for our friends in America and he's got to be better than the Oven Chips guy (haha! geddit?!). But I have a good gut feeling about Obama - despite obviously being groomed to the hilt and a seasoned pol, he strikes me as being, at heart, a decent guy. How far that will go is another matter entirely - but I hope America sees him as being worth a punt.
