The world image of America will soar dramatically.
Internationally, Obama could become the most revered American president since JFK and we saw a taste of that in Berlin. That was for but a visting American citizen, not a visiting American president
Right-wingers might like to convince themselves into believing that crowd was full of "lefties" but it wasn't. Obama's appeal, beyond his own shores, transcends any ideological chasm. McCain couldn't handle that, hence the "celebrity" attack-ads of a bitter man
There is no doubt in my mind that an articulate, forward-thinking, visionary American president can, successfully, champion America's national interest ... without pissing off just about everybody else off
Millions of people had a very ill-feeling in their water (call it intuition) about George W Bush and I was one of 'em
