Re: Democrats overlooking Obama's record @Lars
As someone British I can assure you our lot is not really that superior. :)It just used to fascinate me because it seemed to carry on down into society for so many as well. One tech I knew had not let his father into his house since his father had asked him to vote for Obama last time, there's been some stuff like taht here, it just seemed more common.
I really do not think (or know enough to think) one system is better than the other just sometimes you realise when talking to people you work with and friends, how much of a shared langauge different culture thing goes on with some conversations.
