As an outsider, I find the circus of US domestic politics fascinating and and intrigued by the notion being able to have a president whose party does not have a majority in the lower house. Under our parliamentary system the Prime Minister is simply the leader of the party or coalition with a majority.He/ she can be removed at any time by the party.That happened here a few months ago. We do not have the concept of a 'lame duck'.
Also as an outsider,I've been underwhelmed by Obama from the very beginning,seeing him as more sizzle than steak.However,in context, he seemed several 100 percent better than the Republican shower against him; I mean, Sarah Palin as VP? Fuck!.
My feeling is the Democrats will be handed their heads in this election,leaving Obama a lame duck,one term president.
