I think Obama’s win is the feel-good thing of the year - both in the US and worldwide. Now thie big question is how he’ll really govern - and whether or not he can handle Pelosi and Reid, who will have agendas of their own.

It’s interesting in that he’s already named his good buddy (and extremely blunt talker) Rahm Emanuel (a.k.a “Rahmbo” to the Republicans) as Chief-of-Staff. I wonder if he’ll really follow through on his campaign promises and hire Republicans in his cabinet (and I don’t mean minor posts, either).
