Absolutely. Bush did a lot to destroy the world's respect for our country. He weakened our friendships. Obama will heal those rifts. We need our friends, and it's not just about "being liked" for the sake of popularity. Having friends and allies helps you get things done.

Obama drew a crowd of 200,000 wildly enthusiastic Europeans. 200,000!!!! Have you ever seen a group that big turn out for ANY American? Holy crap!

Some of it is legitimate issues differences. But a lot of it is win-at-any-cost partisanship. And a lot of it is fear and envy, like you mentioned. I think Republicans know this one is out of their reach, and they are reacting with bitterness.

News I'm a Barack supporter, and I know there are a lot of negative threads about him posted almost daily here. The man can certainly draw inspiration and hope though. Look at the turn out he had here , in BERLIN ! Man,... I would hate to be the guy in charge of trying to get McSame nominated , B.O. is a machine ! Is it just me , or with this world tour he's on, conducting foreign policy already , seems like this Rating: 5
