new regime(s) ??
Now that Bush fiasco is over, Obama is like a breath of fresh air. It's as if the light has been turned on, after being in a darkened room for so long.
The immediate change to the concept of thought being used to solve problems, rather than porkbelly and idealogue, is startling in its contrast to the previous, but it also invokes the forlorn thought, now that we've seen an alternative, of 'why did it take so long'.
The Obama administration also puts the Harper administration in deep contrast. Before, Harper looked good compared to Bush, but now we see him as a small-minded idealogue, not ready (or perhaps not willing or able) to take the big view, stuck in his sad little partisan ways.
