Former USSR president Mikhail Gorbachev (Ural Owl totem) believes Obama will bring perestroika to the US.
Given that his record in the Baltic States left the longest trail of blood there since Stalin, I am not sure how Obama intends to bring this to the US, but let's hope he doesn't hope to emulate Gorby, being the victim of a coup while on holiday and six months later dismantling the US into "constituent republics" which then dissolve into low-level ethnic violence with crippled economies, hyperinflation and banks collapsing left, right and centre. Gordon Brown could advise him on that better perhaps than Obama can.
If I were him I would stay well out of it and concentrate on advertising Pizza Hut - as he did a number of years ago - instead.
