to be honest I'm a fairly liberal Canadian and had hope for Obama, definitely for the symbolism of his color and hope/change he campaigned on. I've always looked at the United States as the greatest country ever forged on this planet, but it's all slipping away and Obama seems to be the final nail in the coffin of American Exceptionalism - the US is turning into just a bigger version of Canada, giving up on what made it exceptional and seemingly accepting that in the 21st century it's going to be just another country.
I really don't think it's necessary for him to be travelling around the world apologizing for America any chance he gets.
If he has 8 years I think he'll set the United States on a path from which it will never be able to retreat from. For better or worse - who knows.
