"He is a smart and personable man"

I can whole heartedly agree there. He also has dignity and grace, and is extremely well spoken, which are qualities we have not seen in the White House for a very long time.

"who we can trust to do the right thing."

Now you have gone too far. Don't forget that he is also a politician.

One area in which I expect him to do absolutely the WRONG thing is in foreign policy, particularly to do with Iraq, Iran, Israel, Afghanistan, and Pakistan - and probably Russia as well. His intentions in that area started out all wrong, and have gotten nothing but worse.

....Palestine and Cuba. The country is so completely paranoid he will have to be God's gift to humanity to change the way we think about foreign policy. Keep in mind his mind may be free but simple statements such as I'd like to see restraint on both sides are used against him by McCain and the noise machine. I can only hope sanity will creep back into our foreign policy under Obama's leadership. There is no other real choice.

I don't think Obama will bring Sanity to this country's foreign policy except, hopefully, in terms of mending relations with European allies. He does not seem to understand the Middle East, Africa, and the Muslim World at all, and his great "foreign policy expert" Biden is even worse because he thinks he understands and he is considered to be some kind of authority.

   The chances of sanity are slim considering the economic crisis. The U.S. is about to slip off the world stage in a big way. Our legacy will be one of preemptive hate and hubris. I (we) can only hope O'bama's perspective will be more rational. But we are not going to be much of a player. Our government and our economic system are dead broke.

"The U.S. is about to slip off the world stage in a big way...We are not going to be much of a player."

And that is the upside of this mess. Maybe now the U.S. will be forced to become a normal country, and there will evolve a multipolar world.
