Dramatic Changes: Obama

Political Centre Of Gravity Dept: Video: Looking back on the most negative campaign in U.S. history, according to Globe and Mail. This new electoral geometry will cause the next four years to produce dramatic changes to America s political centre of gravity and to its relationship to the wider world, even if it has changed little in this election and may perpetuate the political deadlock in Washington that will prevent substantial domestic-policy changes and video: Obama addresses supporters after winning re-election video What drove Mr. Obama to victory, against the headwinds of economic devastation and the deep disappointment of many of his 2008 supporters, was the emergence of a new generation of voter, one that came of age after the Cold War, the civil-rights struggle and the post-1960s culture wars and liberation struggles had already been absorbed into the fabric of U.S. history. These voters are less white, less male, less loyal to parties, less rigidly divided between North and South and less economically secure than those who came before. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
