He seems like a decent and principled person. We need more in the running like him.

I don't know enough about him, but I have similar impressions of Obama. I don't consider him an "empty suit", but the tendency in American politics is to pick someone with maximum charisma and promotability as a Presidential candidate. With the Bushwanker, enroute to becoming President, there was discussion that he was a "good" candidate because a lot of Americans would think he would be a good guy to sit down with for a beer. (of course he didn't drink any more). The Ruling Elite of this country (whoever exactly they may be), probably via their point-person in the DLC of Rahm Emmanuel, want to supply a candidate to you who: -- will look good -- will do what they want ABSOLUTELY COUNT ON them supplying a prime candidate who will meed these prerequisites. Based on the hype Obama is now receiving from the Captive National Press, I suspect that Obama is A candidate of the Ruling Elite because: -- he does look good -- probably can be dominated relatively easily A TRUE AMERICAN PRESIDENT coming out of the 08 elections will require to be: -- absolutely brilliant -- utterly resourceful -- already enormously experienced -- with rock-solid personal integrity -- 1000% honest -- NOT in in for the money -- an International Diplomat respected worldwide -- defender of the Constitution/Bill of Rights who will ROLL BACK the Bushwanker's disgraceful transgressions. and more! On top of that he/she must have a good measure of personal charisma. This is not a profile of an Obama or a Mrs. Clinton or a John Kerry or a John Edwards. Al Gore is the closest person I can think of. Who else? Namaste! Jim
