New President, Please
Posted by andyslack on 6 November 2008
I see the USA has a black President now. I could tell the country was ready for that, since black Presidents have been appearing in movies and on TV (notably in 24) for some time. I can also tell that they’re not ready for a female President yet, because they are not similarly featured (yes, I know about Commander in Chief, but they’re not a regular trope yet).
So, I wonder: Did the media simply reflect a change in mood, or influence it?

There are two ways round a circle so it’s not an either/or situation. Not forgetting the financial and diplomatic atrocities of the Republican government. Another question is which corporations will control the USA now? Since O’wifey is with the medical establishment my guess is the pharma corporations.

Hmm, I hadn’t considered that, but yes, it could well be a combination.
