I saw, okay, whatever, they're excited and they're proud to be part of something big and are cheering it on! Then I go home, watch the news, and I see people all over the world do these things. You get People in Japan wearing Obama T-shirts and cheering him on, and you get people in Thailand doing the same etc when they don't seem to celebrate nearly as much, or be concerned nearly as much with their own issues!
As for Messiah, I didn't say anyone used that word. I described how many people I've seen and spoken to have regarded him as!
I also hope Obama does a good Job! I hope every leader in the world does a good job for their country and people. I would hope nothing less for anyone. We are all humans and we all deserve stability and food on the table at the end of hard days work! I hope Obama does that for America. BUT I will not go ape over him simply because he's supposidly different to Bush!

Well well I see your point there, they do love Obama, Im not in love with Obama, but I sure as hell hope he keeps some of the promises he made, I know its not possible to keep all that you make during a campaign. I can understand the annoyance about that but I guess he fuels the hope train and people hope that he can help out in other places too and maybe he can, by fixing the U.S. relationship with other countries which was tarnished.
And I understand not everyone is enthusiastic about a new leader when he first joined the race for president I wasnt for him I thought "Waaaay to Idealistic" but then I heard policies and I said, he's actually better than most of the choices up there
I do respect your opinions though ^_^ as everyone says: "Opinions are like @ssholes, everyones got them" so I always listen.
P.S. At first I was too annoyed by the "Obama Love" then I said "whatever makes you happy" :P
