I was actively involved in the discussions centering on Democratic nomination for president. The more I hear, the more I read and the more I understand - the more I am getting scared at the possibility to see Barack Obama winning the presidency. ON the paper he and Hillary look the same. But the reality cannot be more different. Apparently he is trying to create a wide movement which will bring a liberal revolution so to speak to this country. I myself consider myself a moderate to liberal person. But I see a lot of good ideas on the right side as well. So my approach and America's approach should be - center of the isle instead of extreme right or extreme left.
Also people that are around him - provided some of them will get some high ranking positions in government - it will be catastrophic. Especially given his ideas on foreign policy. We will be engaging Iran in talks while turning our back on our traditional well established allies. It will create a huge problem internationally for us.
I might be mistaken about his real ideas. But his attitude is, frankly, very disturbing.
Any ideas about all that?
