I could be wrong but isn't that Obama's strength, constitutional law?

And Lynda, I'm sorry, I never answered your question on the Obama  
thread, I just got buried for a few days. I'd like to clarify  
something, though. I am not sure we gain anything in terms of "good  
will" from other counties if we do elect Obama. I was asking if people  
think there *might* be. I know as a kid my Irish Catholic family was  
as proud of Jack Kennedy as if he was born to us. I just can't help  
but wonder if there is something to be gained in what will surely be  
perceived as something different than business as usual.

The other thing you said, and if I'm wrong do please correct me  
because I'm that buried, I can't even find the original thread now,  
the other thing is that I think we didn't agree on was my use of  
"we".  By this I meant the U.S. as a country, doing badly. If that is  
correct, than I strongly disagree with you. We have met the real  
enemy, and it is us.
