Seriously, that is what we would expect from Bush. President Obama is reaching out to the new democracies around the world to show them what is possible.
Seriously, having a African American as president in the US is a big deal. It shows that anything is possible if you set the rules so that anyone can aspire to leadership. It's the best example of what the US represents; anything can happen if you let freedom flourish.
I know, I know, I sound like some dewey eyed kid who has never tasted the reality of our country. But I have and so I know that the Obama election came exactly at the same time.
Think about it, we could have had one term of Bush, two of Clinton, two of Bush and then two of Clinton. It really could have happened.
I think that having Senator Obama reach out and take the reigns of power from media proclaimed dynasties will bode very well with our future.
