Mail & Guardian Down on Obama

WASHINGTON D.C., UNITED STATES: Tonight Obama will give his first speech to Congress. I found this piece in Mail & Guardian, South Africa’s most popular paper, titled “Obama makes showpiece Congress address”. It’s their brief report on the subject, and it’s not too positive. They even present survey data about Obama’s approval rating (60% or more approve) with a negative spin. Either M&G is getting really cynical, or they’re hedging their bets. South Africa has been taking it on the chin during the recent economic turmoil, so they are well within their right to be skeptical.
