Sen. Barack Obama duly won a landslide victory in yesterday’s US Presidential election, but will not take office until 20 January.
I suggested last month in ICB, that “this delay, at such a critical moment, is not good news for chemical companies or for their customers”.
The blog therefore congratulates the new President, and expresses its hope that he will find a way to move forward on tackling the key economic issues. 11 weeks would be a long time for a policy vacuum to exist on these at the heart of Washington DC.
