    An Obama victory could be good for America.And in view of historical trends it seems very likely, it would be very odd if the Democrats managed to lose this election,which is why I find the religious overtones and the gushy, messiah-making all the more worrisome. What is this?

    it's not like a black man with a Muslim father hasn't painted a giant bullseye on himself and done so because he believes himself to be doing something for his country. Obama has done as much for his country as Bush, McCain and a whole host of others who have no more right to criticize or praise Karzai than does he.

    It seems to me - and I hope I'm wrong - that this assessment of Obama includes the judgement that America is (1) racist (2) anti-Islamic and (3) violently so,and that Obama's campaign is in itself an act of superhuman courage and nobility,equal to John McCain's ordeal as a POW in Vietnam.

    If you ask me,Barack Obama's rise speaks of the very best about America,both parties should be proud.

    But his "service" to his country (which needn't be the sole determiner of a candidate's worthiness to be president) is not something I'd contrast with his opponent's or even with that of the current WH occupant.

    Senator Obama was telling reporters just last year that one reason we needed to get out of Iraq was so it would free up Arabic translators who could be utilized in Afghanistan - where Arabic is not spoken.He cuts a nice figure for the media and all,but does he have a sound grasp of geopolitical fundamentals? That said,the senator and nominee now has something like 300 advisors on foreign policy. Maybe they think he is amendable to any number of approaches,or maybe they think he is in way over his head. This tour would be much more compelling if we knew who the Democrat VP was.

    Bush lifted the executive ban on offshore drilling. The congressional ban on offshore drilling expires in about two months. SoH Nancy Pelosi and the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid seem intent on reimposing a ban. Democrats are taking a very foolish gamble here. Gotta side with Republicans,and the majority (76%) of Americans on this issue - "Energy is Freedom".
