Checkmate

I woke up this morning wondering if I had dreamt it all -- wondering if my enthusiastic reaction to Senator Obama's acceptance speech would still be the same. And indeed it is. It was perhaps on reflection not his best delivered speech, but it was a great speech nonetheless full of specific policy ideas for making America better. So here’s hoping he can continue to build momentum for the remaining 67 days of the campaign. Having an outside view from London, now more than ever, America really needs change to restore its credibility and reclaim its rightful place befitting the only superpower left on the world stage.
