As much as you may not like the choice I have made I should point out one major difference between us. You are not in the United States and not an American citizen, therefore you cannot vote. I, on the other hand am an American citizen by birth and I am currently enjoying a a pleasant summer day in the states and have every intention of voting. The points you have made in your postings indicate that you share similar opinions about the U.S. election with many American liberals, however they can vote in the election while you cannot. To me that is very unfortunate, and I wish that more of them were in your position - outside the country.
Politics aside, I have enjoyed the discussion and I thank you for the insight you have added. Ultimately the American people will choose their next president and will have to live with that choice for the next four years. Their record for making intelligent choices is less than sterling, and for that reason I suspect that Barack Obama has a good chance to win. This too I consider unfortunate. As a nation, we have lived with far worse presidents and survived, hopefully we will survive Obama as well.
