Obama/Biden

I still see people with Obama/Biden bumper stickers. I wonder how people can still keep those on the car. He still scares me.

Having said that something that is getting very little press is his foreign policy successes. He seems fairly practical and aggressive. He may be doing as well as Bush did. Perhaps better.

He has continued Bush's policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is putting the pressure on Iran and North Korea. The Guantanamo campaign promise is on the slow go because it is simply bad policy. It may eventually happen but it is being carefully evaluated. He pressure to keep nuclear weapons from expanding seems to be more successful that Bush's.

Perhaps the lack of press coverage is because the liberals are a bit embarrassed that he continuing Bush's policy. They branded Bush as dumb and out of control. Now that Obama seems to be ratifying his policies, well the liberal press would be shown to be wrong. Can't have that. And the conservatives who normally back Republicans are not going to give him credit.

Obama still scares me. But so far his foreign policy looks very good.
