Cactus has written an exceptional piece on the election of Obama.
I have nothing more to offer than this comment just left at No Minister;
All the hoo-ha over America electing its first black President reminds me of the fuss over Helen Clark's election as the first NZ woman Prime Minister. Who cares their sex or colour? It's what happens to the country under their leadership that matters. Obama is not an economic liberal.

But Helen is not our first women PM :)
True, but she was our first elected woman PM. Jenny Shipley wasn't elected, she got there by coup.

So did Helen. Micke Moore still has the stab wounds.
