The American dream – but what can he deliver?

Well yes the election of a black working class american to president epitomises the American dream of “everyone can make it” and I am glad that he did! The Bush era has been a disaster for the US in International terms and another hard right ( and oh yes he is) ageing republican with a gun toting evangelical VP within reach of the nuclear button when he crocks it was frightening. So we have an eloquent, charismatic, forward looking US president – but once in power what changes can he realistically make?
