It's a great sign, the common people is rising, more aware than ever. It's also interesting that Obama used very much the web for his campaign: internet is interactive unlike tv where you only listen and watch. I really hope that something similar will soon happend in Italy, this country is getting very oppressive little by little. For instance, the politicians (left and right togheter) are tring to tax the blogs! Thats because some of the blogs talk about theyre dirty business... the list of these "legal-abuses" is already long and will increase unfortunately. We need a change. Peace Alessandro
