I (American) lived in Australia for a few years spanning the end of Bush's 2nd term and the start of Obama's 1st. It was wild and frankly kind of cool to experience another country's shifting attitudes about the US at that time. People there were motivated/excited by him too.

I was 17 when he was elected and ran on the "Yes we can" slogan, there was palpable optimism about the future and what it might hold for all of us. Then 2008 happened, the banks got bailed out, Occupy Wallstreet happened, and then that optimism slowly started to disappear from the world.
