* How will the international community change under Obama?
*Is the far right sunk, or will they reemerge in 2012 with a viable candidate and platform ?

Turtle; This is the original post, one which caught my attention and have been responding to. It is my sincere belief, as was on another such thread by Nitack, and on other forums or in public discussion, that many Americans are interested in changing the format/model of the American Political System. I further believe, in most cases ideas are subjective to personal grievances, or not the actual purpose of the Federal or State Governments.
The election of Obama, was IMO based on this assertion and the hopes of to many people, one person or an administration can achieve their personal goals or create the climate to their independent progress in society and then with no additional effort. None of this and in my opinion is going to happen and we may be headed for serious disappointment in a good share of the American Society. I do hope I am wrong and somewhat impressed by Mr. Obama's appointments, however the facts from history, indicate no one president has singularly achieved such change. If you are anywhere near the age you claim, whether from the US or abroad, I would have been much more interested in your OPINIONS, than your current approach to denouncing my opinions.
I do believe however, some method for segments of society, for whatever reason feeling disenfranchised should have some means to participate and in that participation and in the process become somewhat more informed on the actual purpose of each of the governments that control society.
I am aware of the rules, have mentioned many times that owners and management of any forum have the rights to control input and/or membership well beyond the rules posted. For this reason, I no longer post on Science issues on this forum, which is unrelated to my education, personal interest of mine.
You will also note there are rules for complaining about posters and/or PM's which can be used to take personal grievances off record and I might add taking a thread's objectives totally off topic.
