Other than having a name that resonates with Europeans and Africans, what foreign policy expertise can Obama claim? Anyone.....?

It's enough for me that he is not John McCain. Do we really need a president who is known to act impulsively, on limited knowledge? Do we really need someone who is ready to make war with Iran/Russia/Pakistan without a second thought?

Say thanks, but no thanks to McCain/Palin.

Well, unlike Palin (other than a single trip to Kuwait) he's actually BEEN abroad.

The international community likes him, very much which is good in a time when our country has such a sour rep around the world. The international community would just assume **** on the graves of Bush and McSame Co. That IN AND OF ITSELF is enough for me.

Niiiice... he also understands how to crash planes very well. Wait... that might be construed as a bullet on his resume. He and Al Kay-da have something in common. .

I'd just like to have a president that is liked and respected around the world, I really don't care that much about the small niche crowd in here as they are much less important in the overall scheme of things. I think people attach waaay too much importance to 'experience in Foreign Relations' and way too little on Education and IQ... Bush and McCain are testament to that. More so, I think it makes McCain backers much more socialist than they migh appear. In essence they support high tenure over fresh minds and a solid education. That too me, reeks of UNION.

LOL...... Tekka. McCain is such a F**k up. I still cannot understand how he got the nomination. He has given the VP slot to an unknown woman and has faded into the distance. What an inspiration for future Presidential hopefuls. He can't even come top in the President / Vice President ticket... well in name i suppose.
