America will gain respect

With Obama to deal with the international world, America will once again be respected and that would eleviate the domestic internal pains the US is going through. If the world respects Obama like this, wake up America, this is our chance to achieve what we need as a nation.

Obama speaking to foreign leaders

I have always been opposed to the idea of "candidates" speaking to foreign leaders (whether European, Middle East, or whatever) prior to being elected to the office of President.

I think it is highly inappropriate for any pre-elected candidate (whether McCain or Obama) to be traveling to foreign nations and discussing U.S. foreign policy prior to them getting the job. This is Obama extending his political campaign to an overseas media event.

And regarding this idea of Obama uniting all of us......the words he spoke over in Germany say that we need to break down the walls between Christian and Muslim. If those words mean to do away with the hatred, then we should all support that. However, I will never accept the idea that I have to agree with another person's religious beliefs if those beliefs are in direct conflict with mine.

We all need to keep in mind that there will always be differences between religious beliefs....we just all need to get to the point where we allow everyone the freedom to believe whatever they want to believe without the fear of being persecuted.

We can all live on this "one world" together....but there will always be diffences between all of us. And there will always be different countries and governments. We should be able (and allowed) to live with those differences, just so long as those differences don't spawn hatred or physical and economic harm to each other. Now, if that is what Obama is talking about when he says breaking down the walls...then I'm all for that. But again...he needs to be saying those words here in America...not overseas (acting like he already is the President)

And one more thing Mr. Obama....if you were trying to look like JFK by speaking in Berlin....I was alive when Kennedy was President...I heard him speak......Mr. Obama, your no Kennedy (not even close).

OBAMA UNITING AND PARADIGM SHIFTING

OBAMA UNITING AND PARADIGM SHIFTING IN THE AMERICAN CULTURAL WAR

Obama is politically uniting Blacks and Whites, Christians and Muslims, Kennedy Liberals and Reagan Conservatives, Europeans and Americans; the Podhoretz Neo-Cons and the Leiberman Neo-Libs are screaming the screams of damned, “Crucify him!”; and the World is singing, “God Bless America”.
