Barack!

Obama in Orbit” – Op/Ed – November 15, 2007

Thank you Mr. Cohen! Barack Obama is truly magical. His intelligence is matched only by his passion, determination and vision of what twenty-first century America should look like. He is an international super-star, a man respected across the usual barriers of race, religion and political affiliation. The presidential election of 2008 is really not about Republican versus Democrat. It is about America regaining the respect and trust of the rest of the world, friend and foe alike. It is about uniting and solving international problems like climate change, healthcare, genocide and global pandemics.

Obama is the only candidate of either party who would be a global President. In order to solve America’s problems we must become part of the global community in non-military ways. We must be seen as compassionate, willing to compromise without ever becoming weak, and above all we must be dignified with respect to our role in world affairs. We must be the opposite of what George Bush has created, and Barack Obama is clearly the best equipped to accomplish this.
