I'm Just Sayin'

OK...here we are...Obama has given one hell of a speech and everyone has reacted in some fashion...almost everyone. Lots of folks think he delivered one of the best speeches in history, others think he just blew hot air and fanned the flames of racial strife. Some have come to think more of Obama's stature as a leader..and others less. He has been criticized for speaking up and criticized for saying too little.

 One thing is certain and cannot be disputed. He has incited interest in this election...and action. Voter turnout in the primaries has been at record levels. People who have, in past elections, stood by passively, have become interested...and some actually involved this time around.

Consider this question..how would the election of Obama sit with the rest of the world? On pure... initial reception...how would the rest of the world react to the election of Obama? Of course you say...EVERYBODY will figure Obama will be an improvement over noodle headed Bush. But from a realistic standpoint...would  the world give Obama a fair start?
