...revered and respected again.

A 22-nation survey by the BBC found that voters abroad preferred Barack Obama to John McCain in every single country — by four to one over all. I read that in the New York Times today. Nearly half of those in the BBC poll said that the election of Obama, an African-American, would “fundamentally change” their perceptions of the United States. Isn't that nice? America may become revered and respected again. --Jim Broede
