Congratulations Mr Obama



Something for the ages happened today. Perhaps even the defining event of this infant century we call 21. Hundreds of years from now, space children in space schools will be racking their space brains trying to remember if it was 1908 or 2008 that Barack Hussein Obama II became the forty fourth President of the United States. There will also be a slightly thick kid who is sure that it's neither or those, and is in fact space year 2197. Barely comedic flippancy aside, congratulations Mr Obama. I do firmly believe this is up there with the moon landings.

Why not watch President Obama's rather excellent acceptance speech? Here, here and here.
