He eats like us, he talks like us.....

Following on from my earlier email, the BBC News is here showing a clip of President-Elect Obama eating a burger in amongst the other diners.

What impressed me was his willingness to be among the people; he even joked that he was left alone with his minder when he was far happier mixing it with everyone else.

That's unusual, normally the great and the good pose for a photo call and then disappear; not this Pres.

Can't wait for Jan 20; talking of which:

Why is the US the only country that waits so long from electing a new administration to them taking over? Here in the UK we do it the very next day and I think that is pretty much the same throughout the world.

So, Mr. President-Elect, on taking office please change the handover period to the next day, or, if you guys need a bit more time, call it a week, not the present drawn-out system. In the time it's taken to bring in President Obama, we've had a war, if anyone has noticed.

Mr. President-Elect we need you NOW!
