What a pundit said

[cooolandrew]

An international pundit I watched said this " Barack would be the best result for America given its history. It would finally show a nation at peace witb itself and a nation at peace with itself is nation at peace with the world."

To my mind without a single bill passed the election of Barack improves Americas postition in the world in just one vote. Please don't see this as any detraction from any other candidate just my personal opiinon.

1. I have no argument with said pundit and the analysis.

It would still be somewhat dependent on his initial moves on the international stage however.

2. Maybe it's the weed I'm smoking.

But I can't make sense of that second sentence. :shrug:

5. "given its history" must be the qualifier for the second sentence.

I have known of some countries at peace with itself but not the world.

3. So you think that all racism will instantly stop as soon as he's elected?

Damn, I wish all the female leaders elected in other countries had stopped sexism. Guess they weren't magical chicks?

4. I agree Coool

Something like this sentiment has been written elsewhere; I can remember one piece that I think was in The Atlantic. Though I think we Democrats are fortunate in having three wonderful candidates, anyone of which would make an excellent president. However, Obama is my favorite for many reasons.

6. Yeah, Dutch commentators say this all the time, too.

And it's because they don't have a f*cking clue and they have the much despised (by you) American MSM as a source. They parrot what American pundits keep saying without realizing Obama is as much a status quo candidate as Clinton and the Republicans.

7. This wasn't Aman American pundit and the way it was delivered would ninfluenced by right win media.

... Are there doubts about Obama yes. Are there wild assupmtions made about him as a candiddate I would say even more so.
