Speaking as someone from outside the USA I will say that the attitude of most people I know is definitely moving towards the positive since the election of Obama but of course we cannot just immediately give our total support to everything. However this move to a greater warmth is tempered when we see the constant sniping from some quarters. I have had a few discussions about this with friends and none of us think we have seen such a vocal negative reaction from the 'losing' side before and I hate to say it but most feel that there is a section of the US population that will never accept that a non-white has been elected.
I am sure that there will be a reaction to what I have just written but I am stating what many politically aware people from outside the USA feel. I personally wish to be shown that they are wrong.
