It's interesting that throughout the US election the colour of Obama's skin has been the elephant in the room that no one was talking about. Now it seems to be the only thing that people are talking about, despite the fact that his victory implies that for most Americans it was not even a consideration.
Now after all the hype and over the top reactions, comes the hard bit, actually running the country.
In the UK we'd like to actually get to vote for our Prime Minister please.
