Clinton Lite

I apologise to many of the people who celebrated so spectacularly after the American Presidential elections. I commented how many of them seemed to expect the world to change overnight. I said “Massive change accomplished by one man – I think not.”

What I had failed to appreciate was how many of those celebrating were like Ron Sullivan in Berkeley who thought “Obama doesn’t have to walk on water. I’m expecting Clinton Lite. I’m relieved enough to yell, just that my nation hasn’t been evil/dumb enough this time to elect McCain.”
