History has been made here in the USA today with the appointment of Barack Obama, the first  ever African-American President and proves that the USA is truly a Country where everyone has equal opportunity to succeed, even becoming President.  Good news for the Franklin family as my son, who was born here on 4 July, is being groomed to be the 52nd American President - he was glued to the television and embraced election fever like a true Presidential entrepreneur.  Look out for Samuel John!

Like in all election campaigns, promises are made and when the battle is won, it's delivery time.  As one of the most influential Countries in the world, the spotlight is always on the USA at election time, and given the global financial crisis that in my opinion, has not even commenced, it is firmly shining on Mr Obama today as it is of course, on all Global leaders.

Turning the attention back to the UK, we have to wait another two years until we can rid ourselves of our current Government, who has managed to fall short on virtually every promise, yet still clings to power.  I think even Mr Blair new when to jump ship!    

The Government nationalized television corporation, known as the British Broadcasting Corporation, the one that manages to successfully show and repeat the same show for twenty years and charge every person who has a television, a fee for owning one, whether they watch the channel or not, may have redeemed it self a little.  They conducted research at the famous Louis Pasteur Institute in France, into a chemical compound found in red wine that can actually trick the body into losing weight!  Fantastic news, but being someone who has total faith in natural products, I am sticking to the natural products found in the Burgundy region of the same Country!  Good news for Mum as well!
