A nugget of sanity
One of the most annoying commentaries about Senator Barack Obama campaign is that if he wins the election people around the world will take a more favorable view of the United States. Seth Gitell gives you good reason - if you needed any - to think that that brave new world probably wouldn’t come about if the Senator were to become President. And that’s not a slam on Senator Obama, I hasten to add, as the president’s job is to worry about the well being of Americans, not the feelings of foreigners.
As Gitell puts it:
This Hussein phenomenon, to me, is a classic case of projection. The election of Barack Hussein Obama would make baby boomers and other Americans feel better about their country.
