While granted he's not the most objective source, I believe President Clinton when he has said at rallies for his wife that world leaders have told him our prestige would rise overnight if she were elected. Her eight years as a substantive First Lady is a key reason I support her and this is an example of why. The world already knows her and she knows a lot of the leaders already. I agree with some of the symbolic points regarding Obama, but I'm not sure he's quite ready yet in terms of practical diplomacy. Of course if he gets the VP slot, which I would love, he can be sent on missions suited to him. As for the alleged Muslim ties, he does have more than a lot of us, but I hope that if he is the nominee for either slot, all people of goodwill will shoot down the innuendo regarding his religious background, regardless of whom they support.
