Obama has a solid, independently developed, and sensible understanding of foreign policy. He has truly unique and useful insight into the value to all citizens to have a respectful and fair society. He has demonstrated these things with abundance and has come out of nowhere, without the backing of a former president (who would otherwise almost certainly have been neutral in this primary election by tradition). The man's intelligence and character are highly impressive. He has been a very strong political force with his financial base coming mostly from small individual donors. Obama deserves your vote.... and the country needs someone like Obama. We sometimes forget that the seemly unsolvable big problems can in fact be solved... what it takes to solve these problems is a strong consensus of purpose and wise leadership.... that is the potential that Obama brings to the situation.... mush less likely with Clinton.
