Here's a video for the Star Wars fans, not sure how old it is so sorry if it's been posted previously.

Just a little election day humor for the lounge.

Congratulations to all Americans! Whether or not you voted for 'that one', surely you must all agree that he's a better candidate than the one occupying the seat today.

As for the reaction over here. Media and people alike are struck with Obama-laria. We're all completely smitten by his apparent eloquence and wisdom. Most of us realise that there isn't that big a difference between Obama and McCain (when it comes to matters affecting the rest of the world); but we're still optimistic. One of my favourite colleagues comes from Chicago, a 62-year old English teacher, and she was over the moon after the results rolled in, perhaps her even more so than the rest of us.

Regardless, here's hoping your new leadership will be able to assuage the criticism leveled at the US government for the past 8 years and help Americans (and the rest of the world) out of this, now, a world crisis.

Oh, and similar to the 200.000 strong who actually witnessed it in person, I liked his victory speech.:)
