    Clinton & Bush have really tarninshed our image abroad, IMHO. This could be a real strength of the Obama administration, to strengthen our image.

    Clinton? Hardly.

    My relatives in Canada, staunch Conservatives who laugh at my more liberal views, can't understand why we didn't wave term limits and keep Clinton in office indefinitely. They'd love it if he "defected" so he could lead their country.

    Sorry to burst your blind liberal bubble, but Clinton was seen as a hopeless boob by other countries. He was pushed around and side stepped. I know you refuse to hear anything negative about a democrat, but them's the facts.

    Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The political sheep are out today, Martha.

    Oh, for fuck's sake. That piece of tripe was the most ridiculous piece of polticial clap-trap I've read in a while.

    I think identity politics are a joke. I couldn't care less if Barack Obama were half-black or half-martian. I couldn't care less if Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin were male or female. I could care less if Joe Lieberman were Jewish or Zoroastrian. I we were truly a society of equality, identity politics would have no place in our country.

    Elect the best person available. It may or may not be Barack Obama, but right now he's being promoted for what he represents rather than his policies and I think that's sad.

    I agree he shouldnt be voted in because he is different...but that is an added side benefit on how the rest of the world perceives us.

    Well, the rest of the world needs to grow up and realize that nothing else matters except for who you are inside. I could give a rat's ass as to what the rest of the world thinks. Pursuing a diplomatic policy like wanting to be a cool kid at high school is a recipe for disaster.

    Newsweek must be sleeping with Obama. They probably shine his shoes everyday, too.

    I don't give a rat's ass who the rest of the world wants to be the U.S. president. We need a president who will represent US--not the French, or the Germans, or the Scandinavians. Obama is the least experienced and most radical person to ever run for the highest office in America, and he'll be a disaster if elected.

    How and why is it an added benefit to placate the racism inherent in the rest of the world?

    1 year in the senate, and a couple of years being friends with Rev. Wright, Terrorist Ayers, and many other bad people he could have found.

    I'll say it here again, I could name 1000 (one thousand) names from the Democratic party that are more qualified than him, and that's just the liberal side of things, not counting the conservatives, the moderates, etc.

    And you just hit it on the nail.

    Obama will try and be the cool kid and bring us in relationship with bad countries like Iran, etc, while McCain will not give a F about popularity and do whatever is right for the Americans and the free world.

    One of the major reasons why I'm voting for McCain.

    And if the job of President were as simple today as it was in 1860, then it wouldn't be an issue.

    He is the least experienced out of the two running for the white house.

    I didn't know Lincoln was on the ballot as well.

    lol
