Change to come in America?

I have come across a useful page on the BBC containing a series of short videos on the challenges facing Obama as President.

A useful overview and a good discussion prompt for any classes looking at Obama’s America.

Find it here.

Incidentally, in a bid to try to demonstrate that there is more than one America, we watched a short clip of the film Deliverance this morning. It backfired spectacularly, and seemed to upset rather than inform students. Perhaps its better to approach the urban/rural divide that exists politically in the USA from a different angle!
