It seems like over half of America did just that. I saw Sky News doing interviews with people on Times Square; "Why do you want Obama?" "Erm, because he's going to bring change and I like him."
That's one thing that annoyed me, they all said "He'll bring change.". Well ok, but how will he do it?
I don't know much about what either president wanted to do, mainly because I wasn't voting nor do I live in America.
