I agree with you on one point. No one man can do this. The real power lies with Congress. Obama provides the leadership and direction (missing in the Bush administration), but it is Congress that has the power to make change. The question is will the Democrats in Congress screw this up. Democrats have the power to make change now, but will they do it?
I fear with Hillary we will be led in the same direction on the Israel/Palestine issue. The advisers Hillary is surrounding herself with are the same ones who have crafted the last 16-20 years of failed middle east policies.
Obama needs to move away the "terrorist rhetoric. Every rebel or liberation group has now been called a terrorist. I saw an interview on News hour last night with various leaders on Lebonon. I was frankly more impressed with Hezbula(sp) leaders than the government leaders inshrined in their family country estates. To group Hezbula with Hamas is ridiculous.
