Hmm... According to the US ambassador to Finland Obama has lead a senate committee dealing with Northern European issues. That's a good sign, for at least it ensures the man knows more than the location of Finland. Though of course he will be too busy with the major domestic issues to pay too deep attention to foreign politics for a while.

In any case I'm happy he won. He might be filthy rich but maybe he still knows better how the small and the minorities feel.
