For months the world has been gripped by Obamamania. Barack Obama didn’t just win the United States presidency last November, he won the hearts of ordinary people around the globe.

It’s not hard to see why. Barack Obama is a charismatic young man, a loving husband, and a caring father to his young daughters. He seems in touch with the common people, and determined to do right by them. He wants the troops out of Iraq and he wants the American people to have universal health care.

Not since Robert Kennedy has the world felt such hope that an American politician could truly make a difference. And never has the African American community been so inspired as when one of their own was elected president.

And let’s not forget; he’s so much more credible than that buffoon George W. Bush!

So you can bet that when Barack Obama is inaugurated next week, the world will all be watching with a mixture of pride and awe. You don’t have to miss a moment of this historic event, with the inauguration set to be posted online at WebTVHub. Click here on January 20 to see the action unfold!

So this week I was thrilled to see Theo step out from the mic with his take on Joss Stone’s “You Had Me.”

Many liberal voters are hailing Barack Obama as the saviour of America. There are plenty of reasons for that: he’s articulate, in touch with the average Joe, and easy on the eye.
