Ahh, the British have such a wonderful command of the English language. I do hope so, they invented it you know? I don't know how many pages it would take one of our best American writers to say so much, in so few words.

British Editorial on Obama's Victory
The Daily Mail (UK) wrote this editorial about Obama on 1/6/2009.
(Confirmation, Google "London Daily Mail Obama's Victory")
Obama's Victory--A British View
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher
Jeremiah Wright, the US mainstream media who abandoned any sense
of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because
they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but
would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups.
A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.
A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with
his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for
cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor
with his teeth.
Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world.
Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros, Moore, and Sarandon.
Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence.
For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those
who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager
political fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have
already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without
realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement.
Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.
Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be
censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open
means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than
the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who
are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful
conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation,
higher taxes and economic stagnation.
A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.
Congratulations America!! Your funeral will be sooner than you think!!
