After Super Tuesday? Worrying Wednesday!

Well, as it turned out Super Tuesday concluded in a slightly less than "Super" way (a bit like it eventually did for Hilary Clinton), when I was asked if I could undertake a 45 minute presentation in the austere surroundings of the Institute of Directors in London, in front of an audience of circa 150 HR and legal professionals.

In itself this request wasn't a problem as I quite enjoy public speaking, as long as I know the subject well and have plenty of time to prepare.

Unfortunately, this request met neither of these criteria. I didn't know the subject matter well at all, and the presentation was the following day, namely today!

However, despite doing my first practice "run through" walking down the Mall after lunch (which prompted starnge glances from foreign tourists), closely followed soon after by the presentation itself, it went pretty well, and I now have more proof that not only can I write drivel but I can talk it as well!

The audience were kind. They laughed in the right places, asked plenty of questions, no-one of which were too difficult, and gave good feedback.

The day also further improved at it finished off with an enjoyable champagne reception at a Conran restaurant in Soho, courtesy of a London law firm who I have dealings with.

America - it's time for a little creativity

In a week where we are about to have a "Super" Tuesday, (and possibly a fantastic Wednesday, terrific Thursday etc etc) is it not time for the people of America to become a little more creative.

If the land of the free is really one of the greatest democracies in the world, why is it that there is a strong possibility that by 2017, they will have had 16 years of the Clinton dynasty and 12 years of the Bush dynasty.

Whilst both of these families are poles apart in their political views, is it not time to give another family a chance?

There are rumours (I'm sure completely unfounded) that Bill Clinton has been secretely telling voters not to forget the problems seen in Kenya, Angola and Zimbabwe, "...all of whom have black Presidents" and that they shouldn't therefore make the same mistake and vote for Obama!!"

But this is the time to be bold. People of America, the world looks to you to make the right choice. I know that the journey is only just beginning, but make a statement, start the momentum...vote Obama.
