'British Obama' Goes Down in Flames

All hope is lost. May his American counterpart join him in humiliating defeat in 2012.

The Liberal Democrats were on course for an humiliating General Election result today as the party failed to capitalise on 'Cleggmania'.

As a dejected Nick Clegg sought to pick up the pieces from a bitterly disappointing night for the Lib Dems, in which they looked set to lose five seats, he restated the party with the most seats had the first right to seek form a government.
As he arrived to cheers from supporters on the steps of the Liberal Democrat headquarters in Westminster, Mr Clegg said it was now for the Tories to prove themselves capable.

He said: 'I have said that whichever party gets the most votes and the most seats has the first right to seek to govern, either on its own or by reaching out to other parties and I stick to that view.

'I think it is now for the Conservative Party to prove that it is capable of seeking to govern in the national interest.'

He at least shows more grace than Obama, who'd probably return to his community organizer roots and would be leading protest marches.

Despite Mr Clegg's attempt to play kingmaker, his boast that the election would be a 'two horse race' between the Lib Dems and Tories looked wide of the mark.

The Lib Dems had broadly the same share of the vote as they did in the 2005 election and were on course to lose five seats.

Mr Clegg told supporters at his delayed count that his party had had a disappointing night - and appealed for all parties to pause to digest the result before rushing into deals that would not stand the test of time.

He said: 'This has obviously been a disappointing night for the Liberal Democrats. We simply haven't achieved what we had hoped.

Sounds to me like the media propped this clown and the rest of the Lib Dems up and now reality has set in.
