as to what the opinions of others looking from the outside in are. I have been very disturbed about the direction this country has taken over the past 8 years and our reputation worldwide. I agree with you about Barack Obama being a breath of fresh air. He is leading in the polls so hopefully he will be the next president and once again restore our reputation as the great country we used to be and can be again. I am white and I have supported Barack Obama ever since he started to campaign. Not everyone is judging him by the color of his skin - sadly there are still many but I do think much of the younger generation does not have those hangups. Hopefully, in the next decade or so we will see an end to a lot of the prejudice that has plagued this country for so long.
