Senator Obama details his foreign policy very well in the current Foreign Affairs. He covers every critical issue that currently is on the table.
I agree with everything he says, but realize how difficult it is to transmit this information in bite-size groupings permitted by public meetings, debates, or TV ads.
Karen Tumulty captures well the downside of Obama's honest approach to problems. He is honest in sharing what he perceives are requirements to address problems, e.g., telling Detroit that automobiles must increase their miles per gallon, indicating that changes in Social Security will be required. Again, what he says is right; the question is how to say it in the setting that he won't be misinterpreted or not publicized (much of what he says does not make the press).
Senator Obama has become a credible voice for a thoughtful approach to the plethora of problems confronting us. Surely, I am a believer! Obama can do it!
