I think he will be a strong PR asset in the international / foreign policy arena.<BR/><BR/>I now worry that he seems to be pandering to too many different interests. Is he loosing his focus? Is he trying to appeal to everybody and thereby loosing his ability to affect "change". Does he dilute his message by watering down and compromising too much?<BR/><BR/>A strong president should come out and say: "our energy policy is WRONG. I will fix it. I will change the way this country is dependent on oil and move us to 20% renewable / clean (non bio-fuel) energy in the next 10 years." THAT's leadership. That's bold. Does he have the guts to put the equivalent on of a "man on the moon" in the energy space? Because that's what this country needs.... among other things, to get back on track and lead the world and the global economy.Hans Peter Brondmohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09563676990063481110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509158235786875568.post-39939266864745706622008-08-16T07:07:00.000-07:002008-08-16T07:07:00.000-07:00I'd be interested to know if and how your views have changed since the original post.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12439040600208927411noreply@blogger.com
