The Best Thing So Far
I'm paying pretty close attention from over here, and for me this is the best thing that Obama has done so far--enlisting Elizabeth Edwards to help him with his health care reform plan. With whip-smart, kick-ass Edwards on board, I feel just a tiny bit more optimistic that things will actually change in the health care arena.
I'm not an Obamamaniac, but I certainly like him well enough and will be pleased as punch to have him as my president. The other day I got to talking with a older woman at a café and she told me that seeing Obama having a real shot at the presidency made her think that America is changing for the better and she was relieved to see it. I think that Obama at the very least will do a world of good for our tattered reputation abroad, which is no small thing.
2 Whaddya say?:
Interesting perspective from abroad. I, too, am more pleased than thrilled by Obama - but he clearly beats any alternative.
BTW - have I noticed you're changing your blog template to Spanish?
Sí señor! I thought it would be fun to play a bit, and am starting with Spanish. :-) But I now see that the comment window is in Spanish as well...ooops. Oh well, you guys can handle it!
I forgot to mention this before, but there was an interesting To The Point show recently that had different talking head types from different countries to talk about what they'd think of an Obama presidency (or a McCain presidency). Given that they're all pundity people, I suppose it all needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but things in general look rosy for Obama but not so much so for McCain (only the Israeli guy seemed to prefer McCain--shocking).
