Over 60 Foreign Policy Experts Endorse of Barack Obama for President


By newsdesk - Posted on December 20th, 2007

December 19, 2007 -- Chicago, IL -- Over sixty foreign policy experts, with experience ranging from the State Department and the Pentagon, to the White House and the U.S. Congress, today announced their endorsement of Senator Barack Obama for President.

The group, which includes individuals who have served under every President since John F. Kennedy, said that Obama has the judgment to lead America at this pivotal moment in history, and the ability to take on unconventional threats and restore America's security and standing in the world.

"On the most important foreign policy decision of the last twenty years, Barack Obama made the right judgment in opposing the war in Iraq. His combination of sound judgment, global understanding, and bold and detailed policy proposals is exactly what America needs in a President at this critical moment in our history," said Larry Korb, Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration.

Their endorsement came as Obama held a Foreign Policy Forum in Des Moines, Iowa, where he and several of his top foreign policy advisors engaged in a n open dialogue with Iowa residents on the challenges America faces and how Obama would address them as President. At the event, Obama discussed his specific plans to end the war in Iraq, renew American diplomacy, pursue aggressive diplomacy with Iran, fight terrorism and extremism, and lead the world against the threats of the 21st century.

I wonder who HRC and Richardson are consulting with.

3. yeah, I think HOPE is the answer

hoping for a better world has really paid off ever since the 60s.

Who wants to go with someone who has proven repeatedly that he can ACT on international issues and get positive results, when we can bring in someone with HOPE!

10. Try not to embarrass yourself

[Didereaux]

12. Are you implying then that...

The 60 foreign policy experts are indeed the best? That only they are correct and their judgement exceeds the several hundreds of other experts who agree with other candidates? Are they indeed annointed?

I would suggest that you take your own advice on this one. Or at least think out your response and expand upon its veracity.
