Yeah, but much to my astonishment this is shared by ordinary people. Can't think of an American politician who caused the same emotions.

It's nice to have an American leader go abroad and not incite bombings and riots and the largest protests since Vietnam. That so many people see Obama as what America could be isn't going to hurt him one bit.

It is, but let's not forget that he is not yet elected.

And what with the White House reversing itself on Iran, and forming an exit strategy out of Iraq with a timetable for withdrawal, that lends Obama instead cred in terms of foreign policy, not matter what Lieberman and Giuliani say while Obama is out of the country. Which is in poor taste if you ask me. I thought that was something people don't do.

I am sorry, but what did Giuliani and Lieberman say?
