Reply to "Is Barack Obama the biggest disappointment in living memory?"

I'm not so sure about Tony Blair. Disappointment? Those of us in the party could see it coming. I well remember electing a local teacher to be a prospective candidate. The decision was overturned and an approved candidate parachuted in. Mysterious men in suits appeared from nowhere, and families who had given years to the Labour/trade Union movement were suddenly branded as commies! My biggest disappointment was Gordon Brown. We waited for him to come and sweep away Blarite/Thatcherism but he carried it on and the system remained unregulated. History will be kind to Brown as the man who saved the capitalist system! Ironic isn't it? I'm sure that Hitler is a good call too. One can imagine many parents writing into the Bottrop Gazette saying, "Does that Herr 'itler one realise that he is a role model to many German children? Etc. usw.
