Last remaining superpower? Haven't you heard this has changed since other major players have showed up? And how good our last remaining superpower is doing in the places where she dares to wage a war? Does Russia give ear to us? Does Chine give as much ear to us as they give us money?

The Obama campaign announced the endorsement today of John Adams, Brigadier General, US Army (retired). Adams retired from the Army in September after serving for more than thirty years. His final assignment was as Deputy United States Military Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Adams joins a growing list of high ranking members of the military who have endorsed Barack Obama.
"Barack Obama’s ability to listen and inspire will allow him to shape a new domestic strategy of working together as Americans to safeguard our constitutional liberties and secure the blessings of prosperity for all our citizens,” said John Adams, Brigadier General, US Army (retired). “His sound judgment and ability to make tough choices under pressure will help him to shape a new international strategy of cooperating with our friends abroad to enhance global peace and security. We need his vision and integrity to address America's domestic and international challenges.”

Maybe it is really naive to believe "cowboying around" and cursing will still keep working as it worked during W's presidency.
