And the 44th President of the USA is????

That seems to be the million dollar question. Recently, I got a chance to see and listen to Sen. Barack Obama when he visited the University of WI-Oshkosh shortly before the Wisconsin primaries. I feel, of the three viable candidates remaining (Obama, Clinton & McCain), Obama would be my choice for the next president. Particularly, I like his positions on foreign policy. When the hell did it become a bad idea to sit down and discuss the differences with an opposing nation?? Why is negotation a bad word? Nobody said we have to appease the radicals. However, unless you at least attempt to see the other side's point of view, you can never truly understand them, and, consequently, the entire machine breaks down. I really find his ideas of diplomacy to be something both refreshing and sorely needed in Washington.
